He has enjoyed a lot of success in his short international career, but star India batter Suryakumar Yadav believes following his process and routine will be key to a good campaign in his maiden T20 World Cup outing in Australia. Since making his T20I debut in March last year, Suryakumar has evolved as one of the most destructive batters in the format and has risen to the No.2 spot in the ICC T20I rankings.

"I was really looking forward to come here and attend the first practice session, go on the field, have a run, have a feel on how it's like here. The first net session was also really amazing, just wanted to see how the pace of the wicket is, how the bounce is," the 32-year-old said in a video posted by the BCCI.

Obviously, there were some butterflies in my stomach and a lot of excitement as well, but at the same time you need to look for ways to blend with the atmosphere and pick at the right time. I am just assessing that right now. "Excitement is there, but at the same time you need to follow your process and routine as well," he said.
