Suryakumar Yadav Leads India

India's T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav is optimistic about the upcoming five-match T20I series against England, citing the team's strong partnership and positive momentum after winning the series against South Africa. Despite the recent Test series loss to Australia, the team's unbeaten record in T20Is under head coach Gautam Gambhir brings confidence ahead of the series.

Gambhir's coaching style has been praised by Suryakumar Yadav, who credits him with creating a light and relaxed atmosphere in the dressing room. This approach has helped players perform at their best, and the team is looking to maintain their dream run in the T20 format, having won 24 of their 26 matches in 2024. The return of experienced pacer Mohammed Shami is also a significant boost to the team, with Suryakumar expressing excitement about his comeback and praising his dedication to his craft.

The series against England is seen as a chance for the Indian team to shift attention from their Test woes, and the team is focused on taking it one game at a time. The "Bazball vs SKYball" series pits India's breezy batting style against England's aggressive approach, led by new coach Brendon McCullum. With Sanju Samson confirmed as the opening batter and wicketkeeper, and the team practicing flexibility in the batting order, India is well-prepared to face the English team.

As the series begins at Eden Gardens on January 22, all eyes will be on Suryakumar Yadav and his team as they look to maintain their winning streak and prove their dominance in the T20 format. With Gambhir's guidance and the team's positive momentum, India is poised for a successful series against England.
