Why India Chose to Field First
Explaining India’s decision to bowl first, Yadav said it was a tactical call based on pitch conditions. “We chose to field after assessing the wicket. The real turning point came after the 10th over. Following the break, our bowlers returned with a different energy and took control of the match,” he explained.
While praising the team’s bowling effort, he admitted that India was not flawless in the field. “We dropped some easy catches. It looked like some of our fielders had butter on their hands,” he joked, acknowledging India’s fielding lapses.
Praise for Abhishek Sharma
The Indian skipper reserved special praise for young opener Abhishek Sharma, who played a key role in the win. According to Yadav, Abhishek’s approach is unique and selfless.
“His batting style is fearless but smart. He goes hard in the power play but also understands the situation as the innings progress. He analyzes every game, keeps learning, and never misses practice,” Yadav said.
Hard Work Behind the Success
Yadav emphasized Abhishek’s commitment, saying that hard work is the reason behind his rise. “Even if he doesn’t feel like batting, he still comes to the ground and keeps working. When you put in that kind of effort, God always has plans for you,” he added.
Final Word
Suryakumar Yadav’s remarks not only underline India’s dominance over Pakistan in recent years but also reflect the growing confidence within the Indian camp. With rising stars like Abhishek Sharma and a strong core of players, India continues to look ahead as a team, setting new benchmarks in world cricket.
