India’s swashbuckling batter Suryakumar Yadav, also known by the acronym SKY, insists that the pressure he puts on himself while preparing for a match is what keeps him in good stead on the pitch. Yadav, 32, on Saturday, smashed an unbeaten 51-ball 112 against Sri Lanka in the third T20I to pave the way for India’s 91-run win and a 2-1 series victory for the home team.
“It is really important to put pressure on yourself when you are preparing for the game. The more pressure you put, the better you can play. There is a lot of hard work involved. Some quality practice sessions are also involved,” Suryakumar said after his blazing knock.
