When you are doing well, you still go through the same processes. ,
He said, “Even on match days, I try to do 99 percent of the same things that I do on a normal day. Like if I have to go to the gym then I have to have my lunch at the right time. It’s just small things like this that I have to pay attention to and that’s why I feel good when I get on the field.” Surya Kumar said, ”In my free time, I spend time with my wife and spend time with my mother. I talk to my father a lot. They don’t talk about work. There is no discussion about sports between us. This is the most important thing and I really enjoy living this kind of life.
Regarding Virat Kohli’s replacement at number three, Suryakumar said, “Recently we played a few matches together and formed good partnerships. I thoroughly enjoy batting with him. The biggest thing is that I get to run a lot because he is a very fit player but when we are off the field, we don’t talk too much about the game. We know we respect each other’s game.
