New Delhi. India now faces the challenge of Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup. The two neighboring countries will face each other on the pitch of Barbados.

Surya said, “If you can play like that, I think it shows good batting. If the wicket is difficult, I try to do it. I knew after the power play that it would be difficult to hit boundaries on that pitch with the wind and slow outfield. So after the powerplay, we had a plan in mind that we would just try to hit the gap and make quick runs.” Suryakumar Yadav said, “Yes, batting was a bit difficult but the conditions were different that day. We had to bat till the end with the wicket in hand. .
Spin is my strong suit…
Suryakumar is ready to face the challenge of spin from Afghanistan and Bangladesh. He said, “This has always been my strong point. If the wicket is slow and the spinner is bowling or if the wicket is good, that has always been my game. We clearly have plans against Afghanistan. We are fully focused and know our strong points well. We think about opposition but at the same time at the end of the day you have to know what your strong points are and support them.
