Virat Kohli bowed down to Suryakumar Yadav as a mark of respect for his incredible innings.

In the post-match press conference, Suryakumar opened up on the gesture, insisting that he “never saw” anything like that.

“It was a very heartwarming gesture. I never saw something like that.”

“I was looking at him and I was like, “why isn’t he going ahead?”

“Then I came to him and urged him to walk together. He is so experienced,” Suryakumar said

“I enjoyed batting with him. That’s what I told him as well.”

“The situation was such that I had to go to the crease and play fast.’

“Because the wicket was a little slow in the starting, I talked to Virat Kohli, he said ‘just express yourself and do as you bat”.

“My plan was also very clear on how to bat so it was fun,” said Suryakumar.
