Team India will play their second consecutive T20 World Cup final as they look to defend their crown against New Zealand. India captain, Suryakumar Yadav, made it clear that the Men in Blue will face a tough situation they must manage when they lock horns with the Kiwis in the grand finale.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of the summit clash, SKY emphasized that the Men in Blue will play without fear against the Blackcaps. He also underlined that the experience of the players in ICC tournaments will be key for the entire team.

Shedding light on how it all started for Team India, Suryakumar Yadav said, “We started this journey two years ago, and the circle has come back to the same stadium again where we left in 2023. Be courageous in tough situations - that's the simple message to the team."

Underscoring the importance of experienced campaigners, Suryakumar Yadav added, “There are many players in the dressing room who have played ICC tournaments, including our coach, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel. They have handled pressure situations in ICC events.”

He concluded by saying, “This really helps and chatting with them in the bus or over dinner, we talk about how to overcome tough situations in the game and we find a solution. Such conversations are very important. Experience really matters in such lovely occasions and will matter the most."
