Chasing 247, the Indians were eventually bowled out for 146 to set up a series-decider in Manchester.

Speaking to the media ahead of the all-important fixture, Yadav said that the team is not thinking much about the last game and is looking forward to playing on what he described as a 'beautiful ground and wicket'.

"We are not thinking too much about the game. The T20I series concluded, and we won. We are excited for the 3rd ODI. It's a beautiful ground and wicket as well. We will play our best," Suryakumar said.

'You get motivation from the applause to do well"- Suryakumar Yadav

Surya was in his element during the final T20I at Trent Bridge last week as he smashed his maiden international ton to become just the fifth Indian to register a three-figure score in the shortest format.

The stylish batsman painted the iconic venue with his 360-degree strokeplay, hammering a whirlwind 55-ball 117 to take his side to the brink of an unlikely win.

He eventually fell short of the target but was greeted with a standing ovation from a capacity crowd.

"You get motivation from the applause to do well. As I said that I scored 100, and it was special for me. And at the same time, we had an opportunity to win. When people praise you for your achievements, you get a motivation to do well", the 31-year-old concluded.
