Before the final, a statement by New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner had created a stir. Santner had said that he would not mind if someone’s heart gets broken to win the trophy. Now Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has given a befitting reply while reacting to this statement.
IND vs NZ: Surya’s response to Santner’s warning
New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner had said before the final that his team is fully prepared to win the trophy and he has no objection if some people’s hearts get broken for this. Santner believes that the New Zealand team has been performing well in big tournaments for the last few years and this time too they will take the field to win the title.
Santner said that his team is not going to back down due to fear of the circumstances or the opposing team. He expressed confidence that if his team executes small things properly and plays unitedly, it can be successful in lifting the trophy.
IND vs NZ: ‘This line has become old’
Responding to this statement of Santner, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav replied in a funny manner. During the press conference, Surya laughingly said that this line has become quite old now and the opposing teams need to say something new.
He said that every team seems to be saying almost the same thing. After this statement of Surya, the people present in the press conference also started smiling. His reply made it clear that the Indian team is not at all under pressure from these statements.
IND vs NZ: Such statements have been given earlier also
In fact, such statements have been seen before the finals of big tournaments. Before the 2023 World Cup final, Australian captain Pat Cummins had also said that he would pacify the Indian fans present at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Similarly, during the T20 World Cup 2026 also, many opposing players have given such statements. England bowler Sam Curran and West Indies’ Darren Sammy have also said similar things about Indian fans.
IND vs NZ: Team India’s atmosphere before the final
The atmosphere of the Indian team looks very positive before the final. According to captain Suryakumar Yadav, the team players are relaxed and are also very excited about this big match.
Surya said that he has got the opportunity to captain a great team and playing the final in a big stadium like Ahmedabad is a special experience for every player. In such a situation, Team India is going to enter the field in this match with full preparation.
