NEW DELHI: India all-rounder Axar Patel has praised new T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav for being a "bowlers' captain" who allows bowlers the freedom to execute their plans. This commendation followed India's 43-run victory over Sri Lanka in the first match of their T20I series in Pallekele on Saturday, where Yadav's leadership style was credited for the win.
Suryakumar Yadav assumed the captaincy role and led India to a successful start with his supportive and strategic approach on the field. Axar Patel, speaking at the post-match press conference, emphasized Yadav's positive impact on the bowlers through his continuous encouragement.
