We have the New Zealand series coming up and the important T20 World Cup as well. You will definitely see Surya the batter.

"You go back to seeing your old videos where you batted really well, where you delivered for India. And you try to carry the same thing. But yeah, I've been trying, I've been batting beautifully in the nets. It's the same thing; it's a small hurdle. It's invisible; you can't see it now. But it will be crossed, I'm sure," Suryakumar Yadav said at the press conference.
