In the post-match interview:Â
Suryakumar, Player of the Match: I have done this after a long time. I fielded for 20 overs and batted for 18 overs, only tired (nothing else to worry about.) I feel it was the need of the hour for me. I went out to bat, needed someone to bat till the end. I just enjoyed my time. It's from the Mumbai school of arts, have played a lot of cricket at Wankhede. When the ball stopped seaming, I played all my shots that I practised in the nets. I feel the intent would have been the same, I would have definitely played in the same pattern.
