Surya tells me he will take his chances, just wants me to be there: Kohli

Virat Kohli has no qualms playing second fiddle to Suryakumar Yadav. Because his younger India teammate tells him to do so, and more importantly, it "works beautifully" for the team as the man, acronymed SKY, goes ballistic. During the recent white-ball series against Australia, Kohli played second fiddle with Suryakumar turning the aggressor. "It's a great space to be while batting out there in the middle with SKY," Kohli said on Star Sports show 'Cricket Live'. "He has a lot of fun in the middle because of his skills and ability. He just asks how the ball is coming from the wicket and then, within 2-3 balls, he gauges the wicket and then gets going. "During our partnerships, he says that that he will take his chances and just wants me to be there with him. So, I play a different role when I'm out there with him, which I am enjoying because it works beautifully well for the team."
