News – Tilak praised wholeheartedly… Captain Suryakumar Yadav was seen defending Rinku Singh.

Johannesburg. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav wholeheartedly praised Tilak Verma, who scored two consecutive centuries while batting at number three in the T20 series against South Africa. Suryakumar said that the responsibility that was given to this young batsman, he fulfilled it well. India won the series 3-1 by registering a massive 135-run win in the fourth and final match.
Rishabh Pant was sent to this number during the T20 World Cup but he did not get much success. Suryakumar has also batted at this number but he decided to send Tilak at number three in the last two matches of this series and Tilak took full advantage of this and made a record. Suryakumar said, 'This thought was revolving in my mind that a player batted at number three for a long time and achieved great success. So this was a great opportunity for a young batsman and Tilak took full advantage of it. We both talked about it and he took the responsibility. The way Tilak batted in this series was amazing. It is expected that he will continue to perform well not only in T20 but in all formats.
He said, in IPL we play for different teams but when we play for India, we want to perform the same way as we do for our franchise teams. We want to play that kind of cricket.
Samson also performed well as an opener and when Suryakumar was asked what the team combination would be like with the return of Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, he said, 'I am not thinking that far ahead right now. I like to live in the present, because this win is special for us.
Rinku Singh could not get going in the series and scored only 28 runs in three innings but the Indian captain defended him well. Suryakumar said, 'Even I could not perform well in this series. When you play a team game and you have eight batsmen, it is not easy for each batsman to score runs.
