Yadav’s Dream All-Stars Thrill Fans as They Kick Off 2023!
India's T20 World Cup-winning captain Suryakumar Yadav, despite dreaming of Test cricket, finds T20 his natural comfort zone. He admits ODI cricket proved challenging, requiring a blend of styles he never fully grasped. However, he acknowledges the unique charm and atmosphere the 50-over format generated during the 2023 World Cup.
Suryakumar Yadav, who recently led the India national cricket team to a historic triumph in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, has admitted that while he dreams of playing Test cricket, the shortest format remains where he feels most comfortable. Speaking in an interview with PTI, the Indian captain reflected on his journey across formats, his love for red-ball cricket, and why T20 cricket has ultimately become his natural space.

"But gradually, when we started playing white ball cricket, the inclination shifted a bit towards that. And after that, I came to this format (T20). I also tried a lot in One-Day cricket to play well in it, but nothing happened there," he said.
