Cummins gave a big statement

Vaibhav Suryavanshi did wonders in this match and deflated the Hyderabad bowlers. Pat Cummins also became a fan of Suryavanshi. He said after the match, “Vaibhav played very well. Yes, it feels like you don’t have much options. Obviously, the pitch is very good, but the margins are very small. If your yorker misses even a little bit, they score runs easily. So yes, great game. (Are there any regrets on the decision to chase?) No, not at all. Even in the end, the wicket was very good. (On finding young players) I think we are a very balanced team. Emerged.”

He added: “The boys have performed brilliantly, their attitude throughout the year, the way they have played, they seem to have really enjoyed the cricket, so I can’t ask for anything more than that.”
