IND vs AUS, 1st T20I: Skipper SKY Perplexed as Only 2 Journalists Turn Up for Pre-Match Press Conference

Visakhapatnam: Suryakumar Yadav (SKY) is set to make his T20I captaincy debut against Australia in Vizag following regular captain Hardik Pandya’s injury. Pandya’s ankle setback in the ICC ODI World Cup final led to SKY’s captaincy.

In a surprising turn, the pre-match press conference saw minimal media presence, a departure from the norm for Indian cricket. While the ICC World Cup garnered over 100 journalists, this session concluded in just four minutes with two reporters seemingly short on questions.

SKY on Rohit’s Captaincy

SKY, acknowledging Rohit Sharma’s exemplary captaincy in the ODI World Cup, expressed admiration for Sharma’s on-field embodiment of team strategies.

As SKY takes on the captaincy, he looks forward to the challenge with a fresh T20 squad, emphasizing the need to move forward after the World Cup setback.
