The world`s number one batter Suryakumar Yadav has had to change his game due to the nature of the wickets in the T20 World Cup 2024 but he is expecting the surfaces in the Caribbean to be a lot better for strokeplay. India open their Super 8 campaign against Afghanistan here on Thursday. Their other games are against Bangladesh and Australia in St Lucia, which has produced the tournament`s highest total thus far, and Antigua.
On the `spicy` wickets of New York, Suryakumar had to play the waiting game, especially playing strokes behind the wicket. He took India over the line against USA with an unbeaten 50 off 49 balls, way below his average strike rate of 168.06. "If have you been number one for two years, you should be able to bat in different conditions and change the game as per the needs of the team. That displays good batsmanship and that is what I try," said Suryakumar during a media interaction here on Tuesday. "It`s difficult to generate that force when there`s no pace on the wicket and when someone has read your game nicely.
