"Surya has not only dazzled Wankhede with his batting but has also enhanced the prestige of this tournament. The way GT players praised Surya, was a sight to behold. This is the epitome of the greatness of this batsman. Now, we can say with full confidence that 'Surya Hai To Mumkin Hai' (It is possible if Surya is there)", Sehwag said.

SKY played shots all across the ground and his 360 batting dismantled the rhythm of the bowlers. GT captain Hardik Pandya thought so and Sehwag also concurred with Pandya in the show.

"Surya is playing with fielders of fine leg and square leg. He has a very good sweep shot in his batting repertoire. In doing so, Surya spoiled the rhythm of GT's spinners and strengthened his team. On the basis of this strength, Vishnu Vinod played an entertaining and useful inning," he added.
