Then he went on to interview Suryakumar and said that when he woke up in the morning, there was chaos all around and everyone was talking about Surya waking up at 3 am. Then he asked Suryakumar about what happened last night. Surya laughed and replied, “Weather changed and this travelling again caused a stomach ache and also caught up fever. But at the same time, I knew that it was the decider game, so I told my doctor and physio, ‘ what if this was the World Cup finals?’ so I could not sit sick. So, I told them to give me whatever medicine or injection and get me ready for the game in the evening.” He added, “Once you come to the ground and wear the jersey then it is a different emotion.”
In the game, Suryakumar Yadav scored the match-winning 69 off just 36 balls while chasing 187. While Cameroon Green and company were striking against other bowlers, Axar Patel held the ground and delivered with 33/3 in his four overs. While Suryakumar was named the Player of the Match, Axar was named the Player of the Series for his eight wickets in three games.
