India’s new T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, has talked about his strong relationship with head coach Gautam Gambhir before the series against Sri Lanka. Gambhir, who recently took over from Rahul Dravid, made the notable decision to appoint Suryakumar as captain, replacing Hardik Pandya. As the series opener nears, attention is now on what’s to come.
“Yeh jo relationship hai, bahut special hai. Kyunki main jab 2014 me gaya tha, I played under him for KKR. It was special because wahan se opportunity mila khelne ka, franchise ke liye aur… Jo bolte hena, tum teen kadam chale, aap bhi do kadam aaye, aur bich me kahi toh mile. Toh waisa relationship tha. Aur abhi bhi woh relationship waise ka waise hi hai, strong,” Suryakumar said in a video released by the BCCI.
As Indian cricket enters this new phase, the collaboration between Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir is poised to be a key element. This is because it will combine not only experience but also fresh ideas to reach new achievements.
