Watch: Team India has a blast during field training at Kandy with new head coach Gautam Gambhir overseeing the session. The Indian men’s cricket squad, led by captain Suryakumar Yadav, received a warm reception upon their arrival, with the T20 world champions engaging playfully with fans and creating memorable moments.
The 15-member India team, along with the support staff, departed from Mumbai after a press conference featuring Gambhir and BCCI selector Ajit Agarkar. They landed in Pallekele after a brief stopover in Colombo.

Gambhir recently shared his regret about underutilizing Suryakumar’s talent during their time together at Kolkata Knight Riders. However, Suryakumar expressed confidence in turning things around.
As the newly-appointed T20I captain, Suryakumar emphasized that India will maintain the aggressive cricket style prevalent under former captain Rohit Sharma. He stated, “The same approach continues; just the leadership has changed.” Suryakumar aims to follow Rohit’s example of on-field leadership and hopes to replicate his success in T20 cricket.
Suryakumar values the lessons learned from Rohit and plans to apply them in his new role. He mentioned, “What I have learned from him is invaluable in terms of T20 cricket strategy and winning tournaments.” Despite being chosen over Hardik Pandya for the captaincy, Suryakumar believes Pandya’s all-rounder role remains crucial.
Stay tuned for more updates from Team India’s journey under the guidance of Gautam Gambhir!
