Bold batsman Suryakumar Yadav gave the India U-19 boys priceless cricketing advice on Friday. He urged the young players to embrace their individual talents, come together as a team, and pay more attention to the process as they go forward to achieve their goals.
In advance of their series against Australia starting on September 21, the 33-year-old, who was named India’s T20I captain after Rohit Sharma retired from the game’s shortest format, spoke with the U-19 cricket players at the National Cricket Academy here.
“The India Under-19 Boys had an unforgettable experience interacting with India T20 International Captain Surya Kumar Yadav on the sidelines of their camp at the National Cricket Academy as part of their preparations for the series against Australia Under-19 boys,” the BCCI stated on X.
A source close to the NCA claimed that Surya advised the lads to accept “your unique skills and trust the process.”
“Always be who you are. You are all endowed with a unique talent. Place it all together on the table. Surya advised the guys to “focus more on process and routines and results will be taken care of,” the NCA source told PTI.
Samit Dravid, the son of former India captain and coach Rahul Dravid, is also a member of the team.
In the Maharaja T20 Trophy, the 18-year-old recently represented Mysuru Warriors. He averaged 11.71 and struck out 113.88 from seven innings, with his highest score coming against Gulbarga Mystics of 33.
Mohamed Amaan of Uttar Pradesh will captain the one-day team, and Soham Patwardhan will take charge of the team throughout the four-day contests.
Australia U-19 and India U-19 will play three 50-over matches in Puducherry on September 21, 23, and 26. Then, on September 30, two four-day matches will be played in Chennai.
