Suryakumar Yadav’s tenure as India’s full-time T20I captain has started on a high note, as he guided his team to a thrilling series victory. His heart is full of joy watching his teammates’ camaraderie and support for one another, emphasizing his desire to be more than just a captain but a true leader.
In his debut series as skipper, Suryakumar was awarded the ‘Player of The Series’ for his outstanding performances, including two stellar batting displays and a crucial role with the ball, taking two wickets in a dramatic Super Over win. Reflecting on his leadership style, he expressed his admiration for his team’s spirit and skill.
“The self-confidence and skill in this team make my job easy,” Suryakumar shared during the post-match presentation. He praised the players’ readiness to step up or step aside as needed, which eased the pressure on him. He also emphasized the importance of appreciating low-scoring matches, like their successful defense of a modest 137, as much as high-scoring games.
Sri Lanka’s captain Charith Asalanka expressed disappointment with his team’s middle-order performances throughout the series. He acknowledged poor shot selection and the need for improvement, particularly when facing spinners. Despite the setbacks, Asalanka remained hopeful for a better batting display in the upcoming ODI series.
As Suryakumar Yadav begins his journey as a leader, his focus on team unity and resilience sets a positive tone for India’s future in T20 cricket.
