On the eve of his first series as India captain, Suryakumar Yadav was in good spirits despite the heartbreak of the World Cup final against Australia three days ago.
“It is disappointing, but in the end when you look back at the journey it was a great campaign. Every member, not only the players but even the support staff and the whole of India, was proud of how everyone displayed their talent on the ground. The brand of cricket which we played throughout the tournament is a positive we can be very proud of,” said Suryakumar.
On the challenges of playing a series soon after the final, he said, “It is difficult. It will take time. I mean, it can’t be that you get up the next morning and you forget everything that happened. We would have loved to win. But then, as you say, when you get up there’s always sunrise again and light at the end of the tunnel. You have to forget it and move on. It’s a fresh team. New boys, great energy and looking forward.”
