‘Winning on Captaincy Debut Will Take a Little While to Sink in’ – Suryakumar Yadav
Surykaumar Yadav played a dazzling 80-run knock.
India secures a two-wicket victory against Australia in the first T20I of the five-match series, claiming a 1-0 lead. This win marks India’s highest-ever successful run-chase in T20Is.
Chasing 209, captain Surykaumar Yadav laid the foundation for the run-chase, hammering 80 runs from 40 balls with the help of nine boundaries and four towering sixes.
Ishan Kishan dazzles with a splendid fifty, hammering 58 runs off 39 balls. The cool-headed Rinku Singh secures the win for India, contributing an unbeaten 22 runs from 14 balls.
Speaking in the post-match ceremony, Suryakumar Yadav, who made his captaincy debut for India said:
“Winning on captaincy debut will take a little while to sink in.”
Hardik Pandya‘s injury during the midway point of the 2023 World Cup has kept him out of cricket, leading to the selection of Suryakumar Yadav as the T20I captain for the current series against Australia.
