"I'm very lucky to have all these boys": Suryakymar Yadav lauds Indian contingent

After lifting the T20I World Cup title in the Caribbean & USA last year, India have carried forward that momentum, winning every T20I series they’ve contested since the World Cup. But even this dominance doesn’t lull Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav into complacency, as he feels that you learn from every game you play. However, he lauded both the batting and bowling departments for putting up a massive show of strength in the T20I series against Australia, which India won 2-1.
"I'm very lucky to have all these boys with different-different skills. They bring very different-different things to the table. When we chat around about the bowling, batting, and fielding… You must have seen a lot of energy on the ground. People enjoy when they go together on the ground," Suryakumar said during the press conference after the fifth and final T20I vs Australia was abandoned due to rain.
"But yeah, from a batting point of view, definitely what we've been doing in the last six to eight months, I think we're sticking to that, not changing anything. These guys are doing it really well. The way they bat at the top of the order it puts a smile on everyone's face when they're batting together."
The Indian skipper also praised pacer Jasprit Bumrah, whose presence he feels infuses a sense of responsibility among other bowlers.
"And also from a bowling point of view as well, people are taking responsibility. Having an experienced bowler like (Jasprit) Bumrah around in the team and everyone chatting with him, learning a lot of skills, tricks and trade of the game, I think that's a good thing. So there's good friendship building up in that as well."
"So we are trying to get there. There's never anything like all bases covered. We always learn from this game, every game we play. Yeah, till now things look good, touch wood; let's continue that."
