NEW DELHI: The Ekana Stadium pitch controversy which appeared after India skipper Hardik Pandya called the surface area a shocker, it caused the sacking of the manager.
However the vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav on Tuesday minimized the legend stating that the group is fine with any kind of surface area they get.
On the eve of the series deciding 3rd and last T20I versus New Zealand in Ahmedabad, Surya stated that things like the wicket arent in the hands of the gamers and they have got to accept, adapt and carry on with the scenario at hand.
In the 2nd T20I, India had a tense 100-run chase, which was achieved in the penultimate delivery of the match.
We (Hardik and I) had a chat later, and it resembled, whatever we got in future we will go with it.
Its entirely fine, Surya said ahead of the decider at Motera.
It does not matter what soil you use.
These are the important things which arent in your control.
We did what we had in our control, we needed to adjust, use on that ground and carry on with the situation.
However it was an amazing video game.
Any game, ODI or T20I, low or high scoring, if theres competition in the game, wickets, I do not think, matter a lot.
You go out there, have a challenge, accept it and move on, Surya added.In challenging conditions, New Zealand had actually decreased India to 83/7 and the hosts needed 17 runs from the last 2 overs, with Surya and Hardik in the middle.The duo brought down the equation to six runs from the last over.
Actually, we have been batting together for a long time now.
We had some great partnerships in the past.
At that time, it was very essential for us to have good communication and have a good atmosphere as we knew that it was a little tense in the last over.
We were just having a laugh, backing each other and telling each other whoever got an opportunity lets attempt and end up the game, he stated about their strategy.The Mumbaikar associated his exploits in domestic cricket to his composure while batting in tense circumstances.
Ive played a lot of domestic cricket before making my international launching, that has actually helped me a lot.
You need to use yourself a lot and the grind you have there, playing on different tough tracks, I just brought it from there.
Rest Ive discovered seeing so many senior players in the group, talking to them.
Every video game, I try to put my best foot forward.
Surya is in line for a Test launching in the much-anticipated series against Australia beginning in Nagpur on February 9.
Obviously, everybody wants to play Test cricket.
You begin your cricket at domestic level, playing with red ball only, and I bet Mumbai.
We all know how exciting the series would be, however at the exact same time, its about remaining in today and the focus is on how to give your finest for tomorrows video game, then we have full time to think about Tests.
The worlds No.
1 T20I batter has actually come a long method since making his launching versus England at the very same location on March 14, 2021.
Turning a touch emotional, he said: I told my supervisor also Im back where everything started.
Even I took the actions gradually thinking about 2021 and how I came here.
