Until the trophy in Barbados in June 2024, India had not won an ICC event for more than 10 years. Suryakumar said a mental reset brought about the desired results
Suryakumar Yadav
India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav on Thursday said overcoming the fear of failure in knockout games has been a key contributor to the national team’s stellar success over the past 15 months.
India have won two ICC titles and the Asia Cup since their T20 World Cup triumph in June 2024. The Champions Trophy win in February was in the ODI format but last month Suryakumar led India to their second Asia Cup title in the T20 format.
Yadav said India are reaping the rewards of playing an attacking brand of cricket. “I feel in the last year and a half, in knockout situations, we don’t think about fear of failure. It’s just go out and do what we do best and put our best foot forward and not think about the result,” said Suryakumar at a
‘Skyscanner’ event.
Until the trophy in Barbados in June 2024, India had not won an ICC event for more than 10 years. Suryakumar said a mental reset brought about the desired results.
“That’s the attitude, that’s the culture we created in the team environment. Since 2022, after we came back from Australia, after that T20 World Cup, we thought, we’ll have to do something different. If we have to win a championship, we’ll have to play in a different way,” said the India skipper.
