Suryakumar Yadav compared the series decider to a World Cup Final and was not willing to sit out of the contest

However, SKY wasn’t willing to take any chances and was not willing to sit out of the series decider. Hence, the middle-order batsman pleaded with the medicos to get him ready for the evening’s contest.

“At the same time, 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,” the 32-year-old said.
