T20 World Cup 2024: Adapting to conditions is a mark of good batsmanship, says Suryakumar Yadav

The Hindu  

The world’s number one batter, Suryakumar Yadav, has had to change his game due to the nature of the wickets in the T20 World Cup but he is expecting the surfaces in the Caribbean to be a lot better for strokeplay. On the ’spicy’ wickets of New York, Suryakumar had to play the waiting game, especially playing strokes behind the wicket. “If you have been number one for two years, you should be able to bat in different conditions and change the game as per the team’s needs. “You have to change according to the situation, what the team demands at that moment and talk to your partner who is inside, calm your nerves down and then take the innings ahead.” Suryakumar is looking forward to returning to his 360 degree ways in the Caribbean, but it’s not that he had a problem with the conditions in the USA.
