Disappointed to not score big, focussed to build from here: Suryakumar

TIL Desk Sports/ India batsman Suryakumar Yadav is disappointed not to score big in his debut ODI series but said his fate in international cricket is in his own hands and he will look to build on his experience from Sri Lankan tour.

The 30-year-old from Mumbai clinched the man of the series award for amassing 124 runs with a highest score of 53 in his debut ODI series against Sri Lanka.

“Obviously everyone dreams of playing for India. And it has been a lot of effort, grind, a lot of patience behind this. And it has been worth the wait and I am really happy about it,” Yadav said at the virtual post-match press conference on Friday.

“From here on how I build it, it is all in my hands and I am really excited for the journey ahead.” Yadav, however, expressed disappointment for not being able to get a big knock. “…the way I started in the first game, I got good confidence and in the second game, it was a perfect situation in the middle to win a game for the team, but that time also, it was not the way I play and I got out,” he said.
