Surya bhai is a top-class player: Nehal Wadhera
Mumbai Indians batter Nehal Wadhera was all praise for his batting partner Suryakumar Yadav. The duo’s partnership led the team to their sixth win of the 2023 Indian Premier League season. Nehal expressed that Suryakumar Yadav is a top-class player. He added that the veteran batter boosted his confidence during the game. Nehal said,
“Surya bhai is a top-class player and I also try to copy some of his shots but I cannot. While he was batting I was talking to him and he was saying ‘Keep playing, keep playing’ and he was giving me confidence. He told me, ‘If both of us bat till the 15th-16th over, we can finish the game even early.’ And that’s what we did.”
