"He’s a very good captain"- Tilak Varma on Suryakumar Yadav ahead of 2nd T20I between India and Australia

At a press conference ahead of the second T20I, Tilak Varma endorsed Suryakumar Yadav's leadership abilities after he successfully led India for the first time in the series opener against Australia last Thursday. Tilak said:

“I have played before under Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy in the IPL. He captained Mumbai Indians in one game. He’s very calm and clear in his thoughts. He’s a very good captain. We have seen in the last match also that he played well in a tough situation. He managed well.”

On the importance of a collective effort from all the members of the team, Tilak added:

“It is important for all 11 players to be involved in a match. All players have their thoughts and they share the same with the captain. It’s up to the captain then to take a decision on the same. So, all the players chip in with their thoughts.”
