If there is no pressure there is no fun – Suryakumar Yadav
Team India are all set to defend their crown against a formidable New Zealand as the fate of the World Cup dangles in the balance. New Zealand come in with a lot of x-factors who can be the difference-makers and put India under immense pump. However, India captain, Suryakumar Yadav was clear about the fact that he is not willing to overthink things. He wants the entire outfit to believe in themselves and work their way up.
Talking at the pre-match press conference, Suryakumar Yadav highlighted how India is planning to take on the Kiwi threats. He said, “We haven't discussed the offspin threat at all. On a given day, if any batter does well against a particular bowler, then it's important to do that and do what the team requires.”
He further added, “In the last game too, we saw there were two lefties against an offspinner but we batted well - Ishan Kishan, Shivam Dube and even Tilak Varma. At this stage, I don't think we need to think about it too much. If in the final if they bring on two spinners then we have to face them and I'm sure we'll handle it.”
This is also SKY’s major first rodeo in an ICC Knockout event as a captain. He revealed the roller-coaster emotions that are going strong in him, stating, “It is obviously a special feeling that I am going to lead tomorrow, and to be leading such a wonderful side into a final. That too on home soil. Of course, there are nerves. There will be butterflies in the stomach. But as I always say, if there is no pressure, there is no fun. So I'm also very excited."
