IND vs NZ: Rishabh Pant interrupts Suryakumar's interview with perfect four word praise [WATCH]

Suryakumar Yadav once again played a brilliant knock on Sunday which highlighted why he is the number-one ranked T20I batsman in the world. He hit 11 fours and seven sixes in his unbeaten 51-ball knock of 111 runs as India finished with 191 for six in the second T20I match of the three-match series against New Zealand at the Bay Oval on Sunday.

Following the knock, Indian wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant had the perfect four-word praise for the India batsman after he interrupted Suryakumar's mid-innings interview with the broadcasters.

The top-order batters struggled for India in the New Zealand conditions after the men in blue were put to bat first on Sunday. Pant managed to score just six runs in 15 balls. But Suryakumar batted as if he was on a different surface. He played the sweep shots against spinners, executed the lofted drives, inside-out shots over extra cover and the ramp shot over fine-leg - leaving no place in the field where he did not gather runs.

After the superb innings, Suryakumar was called by the broadcasters, to have a word about his innings where he said, “In T20, a hundred is always special but at the same time, it was really important for me to bat till the very end. Hardik was telling me to bat till the 18th or 19th over, and get to a score of 185 or so. After the end of the 16th over, we had a chat about taking it deep. It was important to maximise the last few overs. Have been doing the same things over and over again, in the nets and it's just coming off for me.”

During the discussion, Rishabh Pant walked in from behind and hugged Suryakumar and after the interview ended he was heard saying, “This is unbelievable innings”.

Suryakumar's knock helped India post a massive target of 192 in the second T20I.
