Aggression and intent is always not about talking – Suryakumar Yadav

India returned to winning ways in clinical fashion as they outmuscled South Africa in a run-fest at Centurion. Tilak Varma played a key role in defining India’s full-blown assault with his maiden T20I century while the bowlers came together in harmony to derail the Proteas’ chase.

India captain Suryakumar Yadav expressed his delight at the kind of cricket that was played by Team India. He also highlighted the aggression and intent that was shown by the Men in Blue.

SKY also concluded with a short narrative about Tilak Varma coming down to his hotel room to ask for a promotion in the batting order.

Talking in the post-match presentation, SKY said, “Very happy. What we spoke about in the team meeting, we played the brand of cricket we discussed. That's what we have been telling them to do. They do that for the franchise, they do that in the nets. Very happy with the way things are going.”

He also shed some light about the intent of the team, stating, “Aggression and intent is always not about talking. They have made my job easier when I see them bat like that. I feel we are in the right direction. First time we were 6-7 minutes ahead on the field.”

SKY concluded by talking about Tilak Varma, stating, “He (Tilak) came to my room at Gqeberha and said give me a chance at No. 3, I want to do well and I said go out there and express yourself. He asked for it and he delivered. Very happy for him and his family.”
