Surya kumar one of our best batsmen against spin: Rohit

TIL Desk Sports/ Surya kumar Yadav, who played a match-winning knock for Mumbai Indians (MI) against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Qualifier 1 of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), has won praise from his skipper Rohit Sharma who rates him as one of the side’s best batsmen against spin.

Suryakumar’s unbeaten knock of 71, which came off just 54 balls on a sub-standard Chinnaswamy track, ensured Mumbai Indians sailed into the finals as they defeated the defending champions by six wickets on Tuesday. “He’s (Surya) probably one of our best batsmen against spin. We knew the spin threat they possess will be a huge factor.

Surya plays spin very well. I have seen him at close quarters. The shots he plays behind the wicket, those are not easy shots. I always knew he was going to come good at some stage,” Rohit said after the match in the post-match presentation ceremony.
