The initial T20I was a high-scoring match, with India successfully pursuing their highest-ever total in T20 cricket. Australia set the tone by batting first and scoring 208/3 in 20 overs, fueled by Josh Inglis’s century off 47 balls.
Suryakumar Yadav played a pivotal role in India’s response, leading the team with an impressive innings of 80 runs to achieve a record-breaking chase.
“He’s a very good captain”- Tilak Varma’s views on Suryakumar Yadav before the 2nd T20I against Australia
In a pre-match press conference for the second T20I, Tilak Varma expressed support for Suryakumar Yadav’s leadership skills, particularly acknowledging Yadav’s successful captaincy in the series opener against Australia last Thursday. Tilak stated:
“I have played before under Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy in the IPL. He captained Mumbai Indians in one game. He’s very calm and clear in his thoughts. He’s a very good captain. We have seen in the last match also that he played well in a tough situation. He managed well.”
Highlighting the significance of a unified effort from the entire team, Tilak further commented:
“It is important for all 11 players to be involved in a match. All players have their thoughts and they share the same with the captain. It’s up to the captain then to take a decision on the same. So, all the players chip in with their thoughts.”
