Stokes further said- Wood is a really fast and skillful bowler. He opened the match for us. It seemed like he was looking to take a wicket on every ball. Obviously, when the ball comes at a speed of 150 kilometers and it reverse swings, it will be very difficult to bat. Wood is very important and the skill he has is the X factor.

But the Indian Cricket Management handed over this responsibility to Suryakumar instead of Hardik. On the other hand, Suryakumar has now given a big statement about captain Rohit Sharma on his role in Team India. Surya says that just the engine has changed, but the bogie of the team is the same. Suryakumar Yadav gave a big statement about Rohit Sharma Let us tell you that before India’s first T20 match against Sri Lanka, in the pre-match conference, Suryakumar Yadav said about Rohit Sharma – First of all, every player’s dream is to represent India and perform well for India. That was my first dream. When everything is going well, you start thinking about how you can win a big tournament for India, how you can win matches. Then comes the second goal that if you ever become the captain of India, then it remains in your dream that if you become the captain of India, then how will you win good tournaments and against good teams. This was a dream of mine, whose box has been ticked. But I always think that what I have learnt from Rohit Sharma is that he was always like a leader on and off the field. He was not like a captain, there is a lot of difference between the two. He was a leader who would stand in the middle of the group and show people the way on how to play T20 cricket and win tournaments. So, that’s what I have learnt from him. The train will move forward, only the engine has changed, but the bogies are the same.

Suryakumar Yadav will be seen captaining the Indian team in the T20 series against Sri Lanka, which is starting today i.e. 27th July. Scott Styris On Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill (Pic Source-X) Former New Zealand player Scott Styris believes that Suryakumar Yadav has been appointed as India’s T20 captain for a very short period and the team management is planning to see Shubman Gill playing this important role after a few years.

A three-match T20 series will be played between India and Sri Lanka. Scott Styris told India Today in an interview, ‘A vice-captain is someone who is learning about captaincy and also how to take a cricket team forward. I have no problem with Shubman Gill becoming the vice-captain. He has also captained in the Indian Premier League. There are many big names whose captaincy he has led, so I have no problem with this.’ This is a long-term photo: Scott Styris Scott Styris further said, ‘This is a long term picture. Many senior players are retiring and Hardik Pandya has not been made the captain, so I think Gautam Gambhir has appointed Suryakumar Yadav as the captain of the T20 team for a very short period, which will be for a maximum of one or two years. And after that Shubman Gill can be seen playing this important role. A lot of positive growth has been seen in Shubman Gill’s game as well. He has performed very well for the Indian team and has won the hearts of all the fans. However, now it is very important for him to perform consistently well in all three formats and this is something he will have to learn as a captain as well. It is very important for him to improve his cricket further. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
