T20 World Cup 2022: I only see the gaps when I go to bat – Suryakumar Yadav

India’s in-form batter Suryakumar Yadav has revealed that he only sees the gaps when he goes out to bat. Yadav is known to play with the field and mostly targets the area where no fielder is positioned. The right-hander is gaining popularity for his 360-degree play and he can score all around the ground to score his runs.

Yadav has scored 225 runs in five matches of the ongoing T20 World Cup at an average of 75 and a strike rate of 193.97. The right-hander has been batting at the top of his game and he is doing a fine job for the team while batting at number four.

Yadav is guile in his batting and mostly attacks the deep fine leg area to score the majority of his runs. SKY shed light on his batting approach and his mentality when he goes out to bat while talking to Ravichandran Ashwin on BCCI.TV.

“I’ve been enjoying batting right now, doing all those things, what I do in practice sessions and what I practice in the last two years. So really happy with that. I only see the gaps, when I go to bat. And, I’ve been just enjoying bating. whenever I go inside, just in a completely different zone altogether,” Surya told Ashwin.

Ashwin asked SKY if he isn’t afraid to get out while playing these extraordinary shots and if he plays them on instinct.

​​To which Surya answered: ‘I’ve succeeded a lot of times than failing while playing this short. So the confidence is really high of playing those strokes. And I’ve been just going out. And just exploding that’s it. I mean, it’s I just try and play the format. It’s all about with what intent you go into bat and as I rightly said before, also, I just try and get runs of every ball. And if there’s an opportunity, then why not? Even if it’s the first ball, just grab it.”

This is the first time Suryakumar Yadav is playing in Australian conditions but he has been able to hit the ground running. Yadav also revealed how he prepared for the Australian pitches, which are known for their extra pace and bounce.

“Everyone asked me only one question. You have never been to Australia. Bouncy fast tracks, big grounds. I’ve never played there. What is your preparations gonna be like? But I said the same thing. When I practice back home, I play at Wankhede. The bounce is really good. So the ground is not that quick, but the bounce is the same. They prepare good fast tracks for me over there. So I have practiced a lot over there. And coming here I’ve always enjoyed bating on big ground because I see tho those big, big pockets see the gap. I hit the gap and run hard if I’m under pressure or something like that. So I’ve always enjoyed bating on big ground and bounce I’ve always enjoyed bating, So it hasn’t been a problem for me till now and hopefully. I go against it,” Surya said.

India will face England in the second semifinal at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday.
