Started Chewing My Gum Even Harder When Virat Kohli Got Out: Suryakumar
Suryakumar said that he did get a bit tensed with Virat Kohli got out. However, he had batted in that situation before and once a left-hander came in, it became easier.
"I started chewing my gum even harder when he (Kohli) got out (laughs). But I knew I have played this phase before and how to bat in this phase and the left-hander coming in it became a little easier. The most important thing was the intent needed to be good at that time and that's where I backed myself."
