Hi Suman

Congrats on your superb performance and steering Chargers consecutive victory against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings.

Q. How does it feel to be called the “Hero of Hyderabad’s IPL team”?

A. It feels great. I always wanted to win matches for my team, than just being a player. I feel confident about my performance and happy.

Q. What do you have to say about your super innings against Royal Challengers Bangalore on their home ground and the convincing win?

A. This match was a crucial one and I made sure that I played all the overs. My partnership with Symmo helped immensely.

Q. How about the consecutive win against Chennai Super Kings at the Chargers home ground, Nagpur?

A. The VCA Stadium, Nagpur is a big ground. The wicket and outfield is slow. 160 on this ground is a good score. The stadium and facilities are fantastic and the best in the country. I am glad I contributed to the win along with my team mates.

Q. Can you share something about the team’s morale after the two wins?

A. As a team we are charged and feel back on track, the positive vibes are certainly felt.

Q. What is your message to your fans, especially your female fans?

A. I just want my fans to know that we are giving our best to reach the semi-finals. I thank you all specially for your support in our lean times.

Q. Anything you want to share about the management?

A. Our owners, management, Coach Lehmann, Manager Goolam Rajah have been fantastic. I specially want to mention Venkat sir and Girish sir who have been extremely supportive. They constantly encourage me to perform better. Venkat sir calls me before every match and gives me pep talk. It is really inspiring. He says “you are talented and you need to execute it”.

Thanks Suman for your time and good luck for your match against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Nagpur.
