Suryakumar Yadav Expresses Happiness at the Post-Match:

After the match, skipper Suryakumar Yadav expressed his delight, emphasizing how the team’s collective effort made his job as captain much easier. Each player’s performance stood out, contributing to this all-around success.
India captain Suryakumar Yadav said,” I wanted that situation, wanted my batters (5,6,7) in that situation. Happy for both (Rinku and Nitish) of them. They batted exactly the way I wanted. You got to go out there and express. Just the jersey changes, rest remaining remains the same.”
Suryakumar Yadav also shared his thoughts on testing the bowlers under pressure, stating he was eager to see how they would handle challenging situations. He highlighted the importance of observing how the bowlers responded and adapted, proving their resilience and ability to perform when faced with adversity.

I wanted to see what the other guys had in store, really happy with it. It was his (Nitish) day, I thought let him enjoy and make it large.”
