MUMBAI: Life keeps getting better and better for Suryakuamr Yadav. An unreal year for him, which saw him scoring 1,164 runs @ 46.56 in 31 T20Is, ended on a perfect note for him when on December 27, he was elevated as the vice-captain of India’s T20I side for the home series against Sri Lanka, which kicks off on January 3 at the Wankhede Stadium here.
“It (vice-captaincy) wasn’t expected, but the way the past year has been for me, I can say that it’s like a reward for me. I’m feeling very good about it, and I’m really looking forward to it,” Surya said after cracking 95 for Mumbai against Saurashtra on Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy match at the MCA’s ground in BKC.
