Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to play under Mahi Bhai: Suryakumar Yadav

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India]October 5 (Ani): India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav revealed that he feels ‘unhappy’ about the fact that he never had the opportunity to play under the legendary MS Dhoni’s captaincy with the Indian team, a stalwart he always tried to play while playing for the opposition. Suryakumar, a flamboyant batter, was a late bloom and made his debut under Virat Kohli’s stewardship against England in 2021 in Ahmedabad. He did not have an opportunity to bat on his debut match, but soon announced himself to the world with his unorthodox streak game executed with a touch of flair. The 35-year-old man made his domestic debut for Mumbai in 2010, but had to wait over a decade for a chance to shine on the international circle. Last year he was rewarded for his consistency with the Captaincy Mantle in the T20Is, previously held by Rohit Sharma. After climbing the Asia Cup unbeaten in Dubai last week, Suryakumar wasted the beans over the loss of the prospect of playing under ‘Captain Cool’ Dhoni. While he has encountered himself several times in the continuous Indian Premier League, Suryakumar has used it as a platform to learn what he can by observing the legendary Indian captain. “First, I D. I always wanted to have an opportunity when he was the captain of India. But I never managed it. I saw him behind the stumps when I played against him. He was very kind. One thing I learned from him when I played against him is to stay relaxed in all pressure situations, he looks at the game, and he eventually undertook a call. ” Virat, Suryakumar was impressed by his ability to push the players to their borders and get the best out of it, with his energetic persona on as well as outside the field. “I think I made my debut under Virat Bhai as captain. I think Virat Bhai is a very difficult taskmaster. He pushes your boundaries, and he wants the best. I mean, all the captains want the best of all the players, but he was also full of energy on the field and off the field. He was a little different,” he added. Under Rohit, Suryakumar pulled off the match-winning in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa in Barbados. Suryakumar played several games under Rohit’s command in the Mumbai Indian and the Indian team. Suryakumar revealed that veteran Swashbuckler, who is known to make them all comfortable around him, keeps his door open to everyone throughout. “When Rohit Bhai, including I played a lot of cricket for the IPL -Franchise and India. He is someone who all touches comfortable around them, an inspiration to all young people. His door was open to everyone 24/7. This is another quality I learned from him and also from the other captains,” he concluded. (Ani)
