"Heart raced knowing he is walking towards me" - Suryakumar narrates faceoff with Virat Kohli

One of the things shared by teammate Suryakumar Yadav about Indian cricketer Virat Kohli is going viral right now.

Despite excelling in the Ranji Trophy, Suryakumar Yadav only found a place in the Indian team after playing for Kolkata and Mumbai in the IPL.

In particular, Suryakumar Yadav, who has consistently excelled in some IPL series, has no place in the Indian team.

Introduction to the Indian team

Thus, many cricket fans were raising more questions. Suryakumar continued to be ignored as many of the young players who shone in the IPL got a place in the Indian team. Finally, in 2021, he made his debut for the Indian team in the One Day and T20 series.

Suryakumar Yadav, who has been featured in all the series of the Indian team, is also the best middle order player. Suryakumar is currently sharing an opinion about former India captain Virat Kohli. In the 2020 IPL series, Suryakumar fought alone against Mumbai and Bangalore to lead Mumbai to victory.

Face Off with Kohli

In the middle of the match, Kohli took the ball and came near Suryakumar and the two took turns watching without saying anything. In this, the way Suryakumar saw Kohli became a big talk. Suryakumar, who is now open-minded about this, said, "That’s his style. His energy level on the ground is always different. And that game was extremely important for both teams so Virat’s sledging was on another level in that match. I was focused on myself, like ‘boss, you cannot lose focus and have to win the match at any cost’. The ball went to him and he made that action from there and it was very instinctive,”

“I remember I was chewing gum and inside my heartbeat is racing knowing that he is walking at me. He isn’t saying anything, I wasn’t saying anything. I was saying to myself ‘no matter what happens, do not say a word. It’s a matter of 10 seconds. After this, a new over will begin. This won’t last long. So the situation passed. I then saw him right after the match,” mentioned Suryakumar.
