Suryakumar Yadav, the captain of the India U-23 team, thanked his senior Mumbai teammates for their suggestions, which he believed proved vital in helping him lead the side to the AsianCricket Council Emerging Teams trophy in Singapore on Sunday.

Yadav had earlier led Mumbai ‘A’ against the touring England team in November last year, but the right-hander never dreamt of leading the national side soon. Once the opportunity arrived, Yadav wanted to ensure that no stone was left unturned.
