When the time is for Wimbledon, Indian cricketers love to visit the place, watching their favorite tennis players live in action from the gallery. Like Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav also attended a match at Wimbledon.
During his visit, he was asked a tricky but interesting question. Yadav is known for his swashbuckling batting skills and ability to play shots across every corner of the ground. His innovative style of swinging the blade defines another dimension of modern-era cricket. Wimbledon, from their official Instagram account, shared a video of the star India batter talking about his desire to add a particular tennis shot into his cricket shot arsenal. It was SKY's first visit to Wimbledon, and he was amazed to watch a live match of Novak Djokovic.
"I have been following his career for a very long time. I even read his book ‘Serve to Win,’ which really inspired me," India T20 Captain said about Djokovic. "I’ve always heard about the atmosphere around Centre Court, especially the moment you walk in. I am here to experience that surreal feeling in person."

Which tennis shot he would like to play in a cricket match?
But the portion of a conversation shared by Wimbledon and Suryakumar himself contains the question, "Which tennis shot does Surya want to try?" In reply he said, "The twinner shot that I want to play when I play on the cricket field."
Furthermore, Surya said that there are some similarities between cricket and tennis. "Mental toughness plays a crucial role in both. There is also a lot of endurance involved. In cricket, we keep running the same 20-25 meters repeatedly, and it is similar in tennis as well. So, I would say strong mental resolve and endurance are the two big common factors,” he said.
