MI’s Suryakumar Yadav celebrates his half-century against DC in New Delhi on Saturday
Mumbai Indians stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav on Saturday lauded Sameer Rizvi’s brilliant batting while admitting that his team was few runs short of a par-score on a decent Kotla wicket. “It was a decent wicket. We expected it to be a little on the slower side, but still from batting point of view we were a little short — 15-20 runs, but I don’t want to take any credit away from the bowlers and also their batters batted really well in the second innings,” he said after the match.
Asked about Sameer Rizvi, who slammed 90 off 51 balls coming as an impact substitute, Suryakumar said: “Absolutely, I mean at 7 for 2 someone coming in like that and batting like the way he batted, I think a lot of credit goes to him. He never let us come into the game. We tried our best to follow all the things what was there in the bowling department, but we couldn’t come back,” the MI stand-in captain said.
He said the pitch played true and it was the same both sides. “It was quite similar. It didn’t change too much, but the way they batted, I think they batted very beautifully,” he said.
