Almost 40 per cent of the runs in his innings were in the fine-leg area. He is playing in the reverse V. He is doing a 360-degree attack. So you cannot set a field. When you cannot set a field, you are left stunned,&#8221; Sidhu was quoted by ANI as saying on Star Sports.<br \/>The former Indian opener also emphasised Suryakumar&#8217;s scoring pace, suggesting that if he surpasses the 50-run mark, he can lead his team to victory.<br \/>&#8220;The pace at which he scores, if he scores more than 50, he will win the match. Very few players play at that pace. Maybe <!-- -->Hardik Pandya<!-- --> and <!-- -->Travis Head<!-- -->, that too with the new ball against the short ball. There are very few game-changers,&#8221; the commentator added.<br \/>India finished the first round atop Group A with seven points, having already secured their spot in the Super 8 after defeating the co-hosts USA.<br \/>The Rohit Sharma-led team is set to face Afghanistan in their first Super 8 match on Thursday at Kensington Oval Barbados.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s)
