Just be fearless: Suryakumar Yadav’s message to Team India
Team India skipper Suryakumar Yadav wants his team to be fearless in the upcoming five-match T20I series against Australia. He expressed that the series is important, keeping in mind the T20 World Cup, that will take place next year. Speaking at the press conference ahead of the T20I series, Suryakumar Yadav said,
“Keeping the T20 World Cup in mind, the games which we are going to play until then are very important. My message to them is very clear, just be fearless and do whatever it takes to help the team and they have been doing that in the IPL, they have played a lot of domestic cricket as well recently.”
“So, they are in good form, which I heard from our support staff. I have told them only one thing: ‘Just enjoy your time in the middle, do the same thing, and don’t do anything different’. At the end of the day, it’s just a game of cricket,” he added.
