The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka for a three-match T20 and an equal number of ODI series. The T20 series will start today on 27 July with the first T20 match to be held at the Pallekele International Stadium. However, before the start of this match, a big statement has come from the new T20 captain of the Indian team, Suryakumar Yadav.

Suryakumar Yadav has described a 22-year-old player of Team India as the X-factor. Let us tell you that recently Suryakumar has become the new T20 captain of Team India after Rohit Sharma. However, when Rohit announced his retirement from the shortest format of the game after winning the T20 World Cup, it was expected that Hardik would become the captain of Team India in this format, but this did not happen.

The Indian cricket team management showed faith in Suryakumar Yadav instead of Hardik. And now Team India has given a big statement about young Riyan Parag, who got a place in the T20 and ODI series against Sri Lanka.

Suryakumar Yadav made a big statement about Riyan Parag

Let us tell you that before the start of the first T20 match against Sri Lanka, Suryakumar Yadav said in the pre-match conference – trolling is a part of all types of sports and it is important how a player deals with it.

I have always rated him (Riyan Parag) highly. I said before the IPL when I met him at the NCA that he has that X-factor. He needs to put other things aside and focus on that.

Surya further said- I think he has realized it and he is a completely different player now. The way he has performed in domestic cricket in the last two years, it creates a big base. I am very happy that he is here with the team.
