During a pre-match conference, India's cricket captain Suryakumar Yadav admitted India's batting woes at the start of the T20 World Cup, but he expressed confidence in handling Pakistan's unique spin challenge from Usman Tariq. He compared Tariq's bowling style to an 'out of syllabus question' in an exam.
India has had a bumpy beginning, struggling against teams like the USA and Namibia. The team now faces Pakistan on the challenging Premadasa pitch. Yadav emphasized that playing against Pakistan involves managing significant game moments and using experience to overcome hurdles.
Despite Pakistan's familiarity with Sri Lankan conditions, Yadav is unfazed. He stressed the importance of maintaining aggressive play and learning to manage pressure, which he believes adds an element of thrill to the matches. The Indian side is determined to rise to the occasion.
