Surya rocked the first match, as soon as he became the captain, he thanked the selectors with the bat, Sri Lankan attack was devastated

New Delhi. After Suryakumar Yadav became the captain and Gautam Gambhir became the coach, the Indian team has made a great start. Playing the first match after Surya became the regular captain, India has scored a huge score of 213 runs in the first T20 match against Sri Lanka. Captain Suryakumar Yadav led from the front and scored the most runs for the team. He scored runs at a strike rate of 223.07 and gave a clear message that there is no pressure of captaincy in his batting.

India batted first in the first match of the 3-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka. Most of the batsmen played excellent innings for India in this match. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 40 runs in 21 balls and Shubman Gill scored 34 runs in 16 balls. Captain Suryakumar Yadav came to bat at the third position. He scored 58 runs in 26 balls. Surya hit 8 fours and 2 sixes in his innings. Rishabh Pant was a bit unlucky and missed the fifty by just one run.

Mathisha Pathirana took 4 wickets
India scored 213 runs in the stipulated 20 overs. This innings of India could have been bigger if Mathisha Pathirana had not taken 4 wickets. Pathirana, who is called Baby Maling, dismissed Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Riyan Parag. Pandya could score only 9 runs in 10 balls. Riyan Parag scored 7 runs in 6 balls. Rinku Singh could score only 1 run in 2 balls. Axar Patel remained unbeaten after scoring 10 runs in 5 balls.

2398 runs at an average of 43.60, 4 centuries
Suryakumar Yadav scored a fifty in the very first match after becoming the regular captain of the Indian T20 team. This is a good sign for the Indian cricket team. It is not that Surya has not captained India before. He has captained the team in 7 matches before this, but then he got the opportunity to captain because most of the senior players were either on rest or injured. This is Surya’s overall 69 T20 International matches. He has scored 2398 runs in these matches at an average of 43.60. This includes 4 centuries.
