“I only see the gaps in the field when I go in to bat. I have just been enjoying batting whenever I go inside. Just in a completely different zone altogether,” said Suryakumar.

He went on to say that he has succeeded a lot while playing these shots, so his confidence is really high.

“I have succeeded a lot of times rather than failing while playing these shots, so the confidence is really high. I am just going out and exploding. That’s it,” Suryakumar added.

Suryakumar went on to say that he enjoys batting on big grounds, since the gaps are bigger.

“Coming here (in Australia), I have always enjoyed batting on big grounds. Because I see those big pockets, I see the gap and I hit the gap and I run if I am in pressure or anything. So it hasn’t been a problem for me till now,” said Suryakumar.

Finally, the 32-year-old said he has been practicing on bouncy tracks in Mumbai to prepare himself for the T20 World Cup in Australia.

“Everyone asks this one question, that you have never been to Australia, bouncy fast tracks and big grounds, you have never played there. What is your preparation going to be like, but I said the same thing. When I practice back home, I practice at Wankhede, where the bounce is pretty good. Though the ground is not that big, the bounce is the same and they prepare good fast tracks for me so I practice a lot over there,” Suryakumar added.

With Suryakumar in blistering form, Team India is set to face England in the second semi-final at the Adelaide Oval on November 10.
