Xtra Time Web Desk: Team India’s new batting sensation Suryakumar Yadav on Thursday said how he planned to hit England pacer Jofra Archer for a six off the first ball he faced in international cricket. The Mumbai batsman anticipated the short ball and played a ramp shot over fine-leg to kickstart his international career.
“I am very happy with the way the things went. My plan was really clear when I went out to bat. I have seen Archer in the last two-three seasons in the IPL, I watched all of his games, whenever a new batsman comes in, what plans he has, obviously I had my plans as well,” Suryakumar said during virtual press conference after the match.
Commenting on the opportunity to bat at No 3 for Team India, Suryakumar said, “It was a great opportunity for me to bat at number three for India. Yeah, I knew he will come a little short at me.”
