‘This award is special today’ - SKY

"It's been 13 games now. My wife told me a sweet story today. She said you've got all the awards except MoM. This award is special today. From team's point of view the knock was important, and also this trophy is for her. She waits for such moments and we celebrate it obviously, looking forward to it. Was important for a single batter to bat till the end," Surya at the post-match presentation. 

"We knew there was one over of 15-20 runs somewhere so we had to wait till the end. The way Naman came in and shared that energy with me was also a turning point," he added.
