"I have enjoyed batting here and enjoyed that partnership" - Team India's Suryakumar Yadav on his partnership with Virat Kohli
Flamboyant Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav stated that he enjoyed building a match-defining partnership with Virat Kohli, which helped India reach 179/2. The duo stitched together a magnificent 95-run unbeaten partnership for the third wicket and provided a quick finish in the death overs.
Suryakumar Yadav hit a 25-ball half-century while his senior batting partner ended up with 62* off 44 balls. Speaking at the mid-innings break, Suryakumar Yadav reviewed the innings and said:
"I have enjoyed batting here and enjoyed that partnership. When I went inside, Virat bhai just said keep batting the way you have been batting, so I just expressed myself. It was good to see everyone come here and support us, my wife is also around so that’s a great support as well."
Suryakumar added:
"The wicket is a bit two-paced but it is a good score to defend. He (Virat Kohli) has been batting amazingly, he has just stuck to his routines and processes. I’m really enjoying batting with him."
