India’s newly appointed T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav stressed the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and fearless approach after his team’s consecutive victories against Sri Lanka. Let us tell you that under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, India has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the T20 series against Sri Lanka. Suryakumar has performed brilliantly with the bat on both days.
The Indian team started the T20 series with a 43-run win on Saturday. They then won the second T20I by seven wickets at Pallekele on Sunday. Meanwhile, in the press conference after the match, Surya talked about the team’s future strategy in the shortest format and how Team India will approach the format in the upcoming matches.
This is the ‘template’ we want to move forward with – Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav said after the match, “We talked about what kind of cricket we want to play before the start of the tournament. This is the ‘template’ we want to move forward with.” He further said, “A score of less than 160 would have been good in bad weather. The rain helped us. The way the boys batted was fantastic.”
Now the result of the last match of the series will not matter, so when Suryakumar was asked if there is a possibility of some players from the ‘reserve bench’ getting a chance, he said, “We will sit and decide. I am very happy for the boys. They performed very well in difficult circumstances.”
India’s googly specialist Ravi Bishnoi was happy that his ‘wrong on’ ball is proving to be effective for him. Ravi Bishnoi, who became the player of the match in the second T20 against Sri Lanka, said after the match, “The pitch was a little different from yesterday. Today in the first innings it helped the spinners. I stuck to my plan. I like to bowl the ‘wrong on’ ball. It is a good responsibility because it means that the captain and management trust me.”
