He has enjoyed a lot of success in his short international career, but star India batter Suryakumar Yadav believes following his process and routine will be key to a good campaign in his maiden T20 World Cup outing in Australia.
Since making his T20I debut in March last year, Suryakumar has evolved as one of the most destructive batters in the format and has risen to the No.2 spot in the ICC T20I rankings.
"I was really looking forward to come here and attend the first practice session, go on the field, have a run, have a feel how its like here. The first net session was also really amazing, just wanted to see how the pace of the wicket is, how the bounce is," the 32-year-old said in a video posted by the BCCI.
Suryakumar had his first practice session Down Under here on Sunday, and the batter said his main focus going into the nets was to judge the conditions.
"Started a little slow. Obviously, there were some butterflies in my stomach and lot of excitement as well but at the same time you need to look for ways to blend with the atmosphere and pick at the right time. I am just assessing that right now.
"Excitement is there but at the same time you need to follow your process and routine as well," he said.
"During practice the pace and bounce of the wicket, the dimension of the grounds as people say the grounds here are big. So you need to be ready with your game, how you plan to make runs here, all these things are very important. Good conditions really looking forward to it."
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
