You gave me a two-minute pep talk on keeping hitters in check. – Kuldeep Yadav expresses gratitude to Suryakumar Yadav for aiding in his ability to focus.

The incredible results of the Indian team at the current Asia Cup can largely be attributed to each player giving their all in their own role within the team. The team has advanced to the championship game of the major tournament thanks to the outstanding efforts of players like Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and many others. Kuldeep Yadav, an outstanding spinner, has distinguished out for India in the Asia Cup 2023.

Kuldeep Yadav is in incredible form and leads the tournament in wickets taken with nine in just four games. The 28-year-old ensured India’s participation in the final by taking four wickets against Sri Lanka after grabbing five wickets against Pakistan in the Super Four stage of the competition.

Star batter Suryakumar Yadav was spotted conversing with Kuldeep Yadav following India’s victory over Sri Lanka.

Kuldeep acknowledged in the interview that Suryakumar Yadav had been a big help in keeping his focus. He claimed that players’ body language can relax after taking five wickets against Pakistan. But Suryakumar’s counsel kept him on track.

“You gave me a two-minute motivational speech to keep the batters in check. When you get five wickets, you start to relax. Even while the body language remains confident, it can become relaxed. The BCCI tweeted a video of Kuldeep Yadav saying, “Those two minutes were extremely important to me because it helped me stay in the game and mentally prepare to take wickets and do my duty for the team. Thank you, Surya bhai.”

I aim to seize the one chance to alter the course of the game:  Suryakumar yadav

Kuldeep Yadav questioned Suryakumar Yadav about the game-changing catch he made to eliminate Maheesh Theekshana in a key situation during the same interview. Kuldeep questioned Suryakumar about his preparation for giving his all on the pitch despite not being a batter.

“There is a lot of hard work going on behind the scenes; the person who is not playing is also trying his best, looking for his opportunity to play, but if you are getting the chance to field, I look towards how I can do a run-out or take a catch to change the game; I look to take the one opportunity to change the game,” Suryakumar Yadav said.
