Suryakumar Yadav Takes the Helm: A New Era of Indian T20 Cricket

Suryakumar Yadav has been appointed as the new captain of India's T20 cricket team, replacing Rohit Sharma. Yadav, known for his aggressive batting style, shares a strong bond with the new head coach, Gautam Gambhir. Yadav emphasizes the importance of staying humble and grounded as he embarks on this new leadership role.

Suryakumar Yadav, the newly-appointed captain of India's T20 cricket team, is ready to lead the team despite not having worn the captain's armband before. Known for his aggressive batting and innovative shots, Yadav has learned leadership from various skippers over his career.

Appointed last week ahead of Hardik Pandya, Yadav's first challenge will be the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka starting on Saturday. Speaking to BCCI.TV, he revealed his excitement and sense of responsibility in taking on this new role.

Yadav and new head coach Gautam Gambhir have a longstanding relationship dating back to their days at Kolkata Knight Riders. According to Yadav, remaining humble and grounded is key to his approach as captain, viewing cricket as a sport rather than life itself.
