“@surya_14kumar (Suryakumar Yadav) lit up the evening sky today! He played excellent shots through the innings but the one that stood out for me was the 6 over third man off @MdShami11 (Mohammed Shami). The way he opened the face of the bat to create that angle off the blade at the same time is very very tough to do and not many batters in world cricket can play that shot. @mipaltan (Mumbai Indians).” Sachin wrote in his tweet.
