The series of 3 T20 and 3 ODI cricket matches between India and Sri Lanka is starting from today. Suryakumar Yadav will captain Team India in the T20 series while Rohit Sharma will lead the team in the ODI series. After becoming the captain of the T20 cricket team, Suryakumar Yadav has broken his silence for the first time and answered all the questions asked to him in the press conference. Suryakumar Yadav also talked about Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir in this press conference.
Suryakumar Yadav said a big thing about Hardik
After being selected as the captain of the team, Suryakumar Yadav broke his silence for the first time on Saturday. While talking to journalists before the start of the T20 cricket series against Sri Lanka, he answered many questions.
Regarding Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav said that I hope he will continue his T20 World Cup form in the series against Sri Lanka. Hardik Pandya's role has always been the same. He is a very important player for the team and the way he performed in the World Cup, I hope he will perform the same in the future as well.
Only the engine has changed, the bogies are the same
When asked about the performance of Team India under Rohit Sharma's captaincy and the performance of Team India under Suryakumar Yadav, Suryakumar Yadav said that nothing will change as far as the aggressive attitude of the Indian team is concerned. The train will move forward, only the engine has been changed and the coaches are the same. Nothing has changed, the brand of cricket is the same. Captaincy does not change anything, it gives me an additional responsibility. What I have learned from Rohit is that he has always been a leader inside and outside the field, he was not just a captain. There is a lot of difference between the two. How to play T20 cricket and how to win the tournament? This is what I have learned from him.
It is difficult to replace Rohit, Virat and Jadeja
Suryakumar Yadav said that our three big players (Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja) have retired from this format of cricket and it will be difficult to replace them. But the new players have certainly practiced a lot and are already playing good T20 cricket for the franchise. I have full confidence in him that he will perform well. Players like Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh will perform well in this series.
special relationship with gambhir
Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav told the team's head coach Gautam Gambhir that our relationship has always been special. We talked a lot. We both understand from our body language what we want to say. Sometimes, even without saying anything, we understand what each of us wants to say.
