New Delhi. The second match of the 3-match T20 series between Team India and New Zealand was played at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, the capital of UP. After losing the first match, India were trailing 0-1 in the series. Therefore, in such a situation, it was necessary for Team India to win this match in order to survive in the series. But chasing the target of 100 runs given by New Zealand, Team India lost their sweat. India had to wait till the last over to win the match. Suryakumar Yadav gave India the victory by hitting a four in the last over. The special thing was that UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also reached to watch this match. After the match, Team India’s dashing batsman Suryakumar Yadav went to CM Yogi’s residence and met him.

CM Yogi Adityanath has shared the picture of this meeting on social media. He wrote, “With the young and energetic SKY (Mr. 360°) of Team India at their official residence in Lucknow.” Please tell that even though Suryakumar Yadav plays Ranji Trophy for Mumbai. He also represents Mumbai Indians in IPL. But Suryakumar’s family is originally from Ghazipur in UP.
