NEW DELHI: Former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri has voiced his support for the newly-appointed T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, as Team India prepares for its tour of Sri Lanka starting Saturday. This series, which includes three T20Is and three ODIs, marks Suryakumar's ascension to captaincy following Rohit Sharma's retirement from the shortest format after a successful ICC T20 World Cup campaign.
Ravi Shastri, in his remarks on The ICC Review, expressed confidence in Suryakumar's potential to excel as India's T20I captain. He stressed the importance of Suryakumar quickly understanding and managing India's diverse bowling options to ensure success in his new role.
