In the mid-innings interview, GT star Rashid Khan had some praiseful words for Suryakumar Yadav and described his knock as ' unbelievable'. Khan also picked up the purple cap for his tally of 23 wickets in 12 matches after another incredible spell of 4-30 in his four overs.
He said, "Good wicket to bat on. We have seen 200+ have been chased here, but SKY was unbelievable. It is hard to bowl to him and some of the shots he played were unbelievable. It is a good track and we should go (into the chase) with a positive mindset. I have bowled here before and the only thing different was the length, need to keep mixing it up and not make it easy for the batters. Dew was there and it was getting more and more, it was a little bit hard to grip the ball in my last over."
