Guwahati (Assam) [India], October 3 (ANI): India's star batter Suryakumar Yadav appreciated the superb century scored by South African David Miller in the second T20I at Guwahati on Sunday.

"He Miller batted beautifully and I loved it," said Suryakumar Yadav.

The batter also shared his preparations before the game and the process that he undertakes to prepare for different situations.

"You just have to be planning really well when you are having the practice sessions about second-guessing the bowlers. When you are batting first, you can't set a target and you just gotta bat as deep as possible and get as many runs as possible," said Yadav.

"We were batting first, so it was very clear that I had to keep the tempo that was set by Rahul and Rohit and I just went and enjoyed myself," expressed the star batter.

Coming to the match, David Miller's explosive ton went in vain as Indian bowlers hold their nerve to clinch the T20I series 2-0 after 16 run victory in the second T20I against South Africa here at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on Sunday.
