Suryakumar Yadav On MI’s Winning Chances
The sensational T20 batter, SKY would be interested to leave a mark with his performance after a forgettable ODI Series against Australia, where he registered three golden ducks in the three ODI games.
Ahead of the much-awaited clash against RCB, Suryakumar was seen interacting with Jio Cinema & was asked about why MI can win the title this time after a disappointing IPL 2022. Responding about the same, he came up with an epic reply. He also spoke about his interaction with legendary skipper MS Dhoni. He said:
“I will give you a funny answer first, this is an odd year. Winning trophies back to back (*2019 & 2020 edition) has been the biggest achievement. Whenever I meet MS Dhoni, it’s a different feeling altogether. There are still so many areas to explored. It feels good to hear that people call 360 degree player. You always want to win the tournament but it is important to follow the processes,”
