Suryakumar Yadav opened up on India’s performance against Pakistan

Winning the game, Surya took centre stage and talked about his side’s performance. He opined that the side prepared for the clash like any other game. He also talked about how the side stands in solidarity with the victims of the Pahalgam attack. 

“For the whole team, we think it's just another game. We prepare the same for all the oppositions. That's what happened few months back. The team that won the CT set the tone (with their spin-heavy attacks). I'm always a fan of spinners because they control the game in the middle. Just wanted to say something. Perfect occasion, taking the time out, we stand by the families of the victims of Pahalgam terror attack,” Suryakumar Yadav said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
