Indian batter Venkatesh Iyer praised his teammate Suryakumar Yadav for his brilliant knock against West Indies in the third and final T20I here at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Sunday. Suryakumar Yadav (65) and Venkatesh Iyer (35*) starred with the bat as India posted 184/5 against West Indies in the third and final T20I.

"More than I enjoyed my batting, I enjoyed his (Surya's) batting. Really happy to have contributed to the partnership. I think every shot of his has a touch of grace. There is thought behind it but he just stands out. That pick upshot over the leg-side of his is great. My shot was on the cards and it was Surya's idea for me to shuffle and scoop it," said Venkatesh Iyer after the first innings.
