“Good to see we are playing aggressive brand of cricket” – Suryakumar Yadav
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav acknowledged after the win in Chennai that England pushed them to their limits, something they had not expected. The veteran was all praise for Tilak and feels other batters can learn from him the way he played.
“A little bit of relief. The way the game was going, we felt 160 was good, but the way they bowled, good that the game went down to the wire. We have been playing with an extra batter for the last few series. That batter gives us two-three overs. The chat was to play like the last game. Good to see we are playing aggressive brand of cricket, at the same time, guys put their hands up and stitched the small partnerships. Very happy with the way Tilak batted, something to learn for everyone.”
A win in the third T20I will seal the series for the hosts.
