Playing the final is a special feeling for all the boys – Suryakumar Yadav

After an exhilaratingly oscillating battle in Mumbai, Team India eliminated England to make the cut for the T20 World Cup 2026 final. In what turned out to be a full-blown slugfest, both sides took a no-holds-barred approach, hardly offering anything to the bowlers. The Indian captain, Suryakumar Yadav was delighted with Team India’s performance while also heaping praise on his counterparts and the herculean chase they put in.

Talking at the post-match presentation about his feelings after India won the game, Suryakumar Yadav said, “It’s an unbelievable feeling. Obviously, playing in India, leading such a wonderful side, and with the World Cup happening here, going to Ahmedabad to play that final. I think it’s a special feeling for all the boys.”

Lauding Sanju Samson’s efforts with the bat, SKY added, “I think Samson knew what he wanted to do as soon as he went in to bat. Even when a wicket fell, he knew the wicket was good, so he kept pressing the pedal. The way he batted was exactly what the team required. It was due after all the hard work he’s been putting in over the last year. It was a special knock today.”

SKY concluded with a word of mutual admiration for his teammates, stating, “Oh my God! I just told Harry Brook, “How much more do we need to score against you guys?” But honestly, it was a good wicket. The way they batted, I don’t want to take credit away from them. They were always in the game and always in the chase. But the way Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and the other bowlers pulled the game back was unbelievable. We all know what he’s capable of and what he’s done for India over the years.”
