Yuzvendra Chahal, an Indian spinner, praised Suryakumar Yadav and Axar Patel for their contributions to the series-clinching 91-run victory over Sri Lanka in the third T20 International.
India defeated Sri Lanka 2-1 in the three-match T20I series thanks to Suryakumar Yadav’s third T20I century, which enabled them to win the third and final match in Rajkot by 91 runs. India chose to bat first and amassed 228/5 on the board thanks in large part to Suryakumar’s 45-ball century, which later caused Sri Lanka to falter under the weight of run pressure. The visitors’ attempt to win their first series in India was unsuccessful as they were dismissed for 137 runs inside of 17 overs.
“I try to bowl according to the wicket. I tried to bowl on that length, and if the batter hits it, then good for him. What Surya does in nets, you see that in the match. We try and send the best bowlers to him in the nets,” Yuzvendra Chahal told broadcasters.
“After the first match, I had a discussion with the coaches – on what pace and line to be bowling. (On Suryakumar Yadav) He’s batting at a different level and I’m happy that I’m in the same team as him. Axar is a perfect package. It’s tough to bowl to him as well as he’s a clean hitter.”
