Reflecting on a hypothetical contest between Suryavanshi and those legendary fast bowlers, Lloyd felt it would have been an interesting battle.“Well, he’ll be a great test (laughs), and we’ll test his character, his skills, etc. He’s got good vision. He’s a good striker of the ball. Yeah, so it will be a good test for him and a good test for our bowlers. The reason we had the bowlers we had was to understand what they were doing, because they all did different things. They didn’t do the same thing. So, it would have been a great test,” Lloyd said in an interview with RevSportz.
