Hilarious Reaction of Suryakumar Yadav To Low Attendance For Press Conference
As star batsman Suryakumar Yadav gets set to lead India in a five-match T20I series against Australia, he addressed a press conference on the eve of the first match in Visakhapatnam on Thursday. Suryakumar, who is leading the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya, spoke on the significance of the series in light of the upcoming T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. However, Suryakumar was amused to see just two journalists turn up for the press conference.
India's designated captain for the series said, "Only two people?"
The press conference lasted only four minutes as the two journalists questioned Suryakumar in multiple turns. With both teams playing second-string sides, Suryakumar wants the young India team to play fearless cricket and do all that helps the side.
Suryakumar Yadav said, "I think what I told them when I met them in the afternoon was let's be very selfless when we go onto the field. I am a guy who doesn't think much of personal milestones ahead of team goals. Hence, I told them to keep the team's interests first, and then whatever comes after that, they can take their call. I have played with them a lot of times during the IPL and a few India games, and they know how I function, and it wasn't that difficult to communicate my thoughts. We are excited about the series.”
