Our captain, Ayush Matre, has played for CSK this time. The preparation is going very well. I will get a good experience of playing in England. We will try to win a trophy from there as well,” Suryavanshi said in a video posted on iplt20.com.
Suryavanshi was brilliant in his debut IPL season
Suryavanshi also remarked that he learned a lot of things during his first-ever season in the IPL and added that he will try to do better for his team in his next campaign.
“Playing in the IPL is like a dream for everyone. It was my first season and I got a lot of positive things from it. I got to learn a lot about what I can do for the team in the next season. So, I will work on the areas where I made mistakes in the past, and I will try to do better for the team in the next season," Suryavanshi stated.
“I have learnt that I have to do two times better than what I have done in the past, so that my team can play in the finals next year. I will focus on how much I can contribute to making it happen for my team in the next season,” he concluded.
