SA vs IND: Suryakumar Yadav got angry after hearing harsh words about Rohit Sharma, scolded the media for saving 'elder brother'? Videos

Cricket News Desk. The first match of the three-match T20 series between India and South Africa will be played on 8 November. On the eve of the match, captain Suryakumar Yadav spoke openly on many issues. When asked about India's 0-3 defeat in the Test series against New Zealand, Surya said, 'Winning and losing are an important part of the game. Everyone has worked hard. Sometimes you perform well and sometimes not.

Surya copied Rohit
Suryakumar Yadav, an admirer of Rohit Sharma's leadership abilities, admitted that he follows 'his own leadership style' and spends a lot of time with his team off the field, which reflects in his performance on the field. Like Rohit, Suryakumar also understands the mentality of his players and inspires them to stay united and maintain balance in difficult times. For Suryakumar, Rohit is not a captain but a leader.

I have learned from him (Rohit) that balance is very important in life. Even if you perform well and lose, your spirit should not change. A player must have this quality. A leader is someone who decides how his team will play in a particular format. I keep them in mind when I'm on the field. How is his body language and he is always calm. How he talks to his bowlers and how he interacts with everyone on and off the field. I know how he treats his players and what he wants from them.

Surya kept praising Rohit
Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav have played together for Ranji Trophy team Mumbai and Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Mumbai Indians for almost a decade, which has influenced Rohit's captaincy style. Smiling, he said, 'The method I adopted was successful. Of course I added my 'masala' (my thoughts) to it. But it has become easier.

When will the sun return?
Suryakumar, who made his debut during the last Border-Gavaskar Trophy in India, did not get a chance to play more than one Test as he has been restricted to a single format since the 50-over World Cup last year. When he was asked whether he expected to make a Test comeback, he gave a precise and practical answer and said, 'My Test comeback will happen when it has to happen. I participate in every local competition, be it red ball or white ball.
