Suryakumar Yadav Press Conference: After the heart-breaking defeat in the final of the ODI World Cup 2023, the Indian team is now hosting Australia in the T20. The first T20 match of the 5-match series will be played today i.e. Thursday (23 November) in Visakhapatnam. In the absence of Hardik Pandya and other senior players, Suryakumar Yadav has been appointed the captain of the Indian team for this series. Suryakumar is the 9th Indian captain to command the team in T20.
Suryakumar’s Unforgettable Press Conference
Like always, the way captains hold press conferences a day before the match, Suryakumar Yadav also held his press conference as captain on Wednesday. However, the way the journalists welcomed Surya in the press conference, he will not forget it for the rest of his life. India vs Australia (IND vs AUS) On the eve of the first T20 match, only 2 journalists reached Surya’s first PC. Not only this, but this Press Conference also died in just 3 minutes and 32 seconds.
Sports journalist shared details on social media
Senior sports journalist Vimal Kumar has shared complete details about this surprising press conference on social media. Vimal wrote that while more than 200 media persons reached India during the World Cup, there were only 2 journalists here, this is surprising. SKY would not have imagined this in his first PC as captain. Is this a record for the lowest attendance at a press conference in India? I feel the same way.
People angry with Indian players
Some people are also disappointed after Team India’s defeat in the World Cup final. People are not able to digest the final performance of Indian players. He says that he cannot tolerate the way Team India reached the finals by winning 10 consecutive matches and then got frustrated in front of Australia. People are very angry with the Indian team.
Rohit’s praise
Suryakumar, who represents Mumbai in domestic cricket, further said, ‘Rohit Bhai (captain Rohit Sharma) performed amazingly in the World Cup. He was in a different zone in this tournament. He has set an example. He said on the defeat, ‘It is a bit difficult to forget. It will take time. It is not possible that you wake up the next morning and forget what happened. It was a long tournament. Obviously, we would love to win but you have to forget and move on. This is a new team, with new boys and new energy. So, we are looking forward to this T20 series (against Australia).
