India's T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, addressed questions about his approach to leading the team in the Asia Cup 2025, stating his intention to stick with the winning formula established in bilateral series. He expressed confidence in the team's direction and questioned the need for change.
Yadav also responded to inquiries about Sanju Samson's potential inclusion in the playing XI, playfully promising to text the lineup later. He assured fans that Samson is being well cared for and that the team will make the best decision.
India enters the tournament as defending champions, aiming for their ninth Asia Cup title and second in the T20 format. Their campaign begins against the UAE on September 10.
Yadav's lighthearted approach to the press conference reflects the team's positive outlook as they prepare for the tournament.
“Till now everything is going alright sir, toh kyu bina matlab ka ungli karna hai? (Why unnecessarily muddle?) We will continue to do and follow the same things we have done in all of the bilaterals so far. If some things are working, that means we are moving in the right direction,”
