Was happy when Virat Kohli sledged me: Suryakumar Yadav recalls IPL 2020 face-off with India captain

Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli were involved in a staring contest after the India skipper tried to unsettle the Mumbai Indians batsman during a tense chase in an IPL 2020 encounter in Abu Dhabi.

India batsman Suryakumar Yadav recalled his face-off with India captain Virat Kohli during an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 game between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore, saying he was happy that the RCB skipper sledged him. Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli were involved in a staring contest during a crunch match in Abu Dhabi last year. It all started when Kohli was trying to unsettle Suryakumar who was taking the attack to RCB bowlers in MI's chase of 165. The incident came days after Suryakumar missed a berth in the India squad for the Australia tour last year. The MI batsman looked like a man on a mission as he batted with a steely resolve. Despite losing early wickets, MI managed to seal a 5-wicket win. Suryakumar remained unbeaten and finished the chase on 79 off 43 balls with 3 sixes and 10 boundaries.
