This is a special win and will stay with me forever – Suryakumar Yadav

It was a monumental win for Team India as they toppled South Africa and a flurry of records alike with the Bullring staying witness to absolutely crazy madness. Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma were the key architects of Indian dominance, hammering away twin centuries. The Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav was delighted with the way in which India dismantled the hosts while also heaping massive praise on the hard-hitting duo of Samson and Varma.

Talking at the post-match conference about the staggering win, SKY said, “There's no secret to adapting to the conditions and situations. Our plans were very clear as soon as we landed in Durban. Last time when we came here, we played the same brand of cricket and wanted to continue that. Though we were up 2-1 in the series, today we wanted to follow the good habits and not worry about the result. It happened naturally.”

Shedding light on the brilliance of the Varma-Samson duo, SKY added, “It's very difficult for me to choose one good knock from them, it was amazing batting skills displayed by them. We spoke about that and they literally walked the talk. When we toured last year, we knew there was something in this wicket once the lights were on and the temperature dropped. We just followed that, stuck to our lines and the result was right in front of us.”

Explaining the conquest of South Africa, SKY stated, “It gives a big boost if you are winning any ICC tournament, winning from where we won. It was difficult to sum up what goes through our minds when we won there. It is very challenging when we tour South Africa, to come and win here, this is a special win and will stay with me forever.”

He concluded by heaping praise on the support staff, adding, “They were sitting and enjoying the show since the first day, they spoke to the boys and said whatever you want, you do, we will sit and enjoy. Even today, they said if you want to bat first and put runs on the board, do it.”
