‘Give me any injection … what if this was a WC final?’: Suryakumar Yadav reveals late evening dialog with physio earlier than IND vs AUS collection decider

Suryakumar Yadav’s speedy half-century led India to a six-wicket win over Australia with one ball remaining of their Twenty20 decider for a 2-1 collection victory.

However, in a post-match chat with spinner Axar Patel, Suryakumar revealed that he needed to battle a abdomen ache and fever within the evening earlier than the sport because the medical crew labored furiously to get him match earlier than the series-decider at Hyderabad.

It was Axar who recalled how he was woken up within the wee hours of Sunday morning by a commotion close to the physio room and was knowledgeable that Suryakumar was being handled after complaints of abdomen ache and fever.

“Actually, you (Axar) were also facing this problem. I got to know this during the team meeting,” Suryakumar was quoted as saying in a video posted by BCCI on their official web site.

“There was a little issue. The weather changed and now we have started travelling as well. So I had a stomach ache and then fever,” he stated.

But not among the many ones to again down the 32-year-old stated,” “I knew this one is the decider. So I told my doctor and physio, ‘If this would’ve been the world cup final, then how will I react? I can’t sit like this.’ So I told them, ‘do anything – give me any medicine, injection – do everything you can to get me fit for the game.”

“(And) once you have worn the jersey and are on the ground then the emotion is different,” he concluded.

Suryakumar smacked 69 off 36 balls and placed on 104 runs with Virat Kohli off 62 deliveries as India reached the goal in 19.5 overs.
