Suryakumar Yadav statement T20 World cup final: The Indian team captained by Suryakumar Yadav has made its place in the final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.

New Delhi: The Indian cricket team defeated England by just 7 runs in the thrilling semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. Team India had scored a huge score of 253 runs in the match. In response to this score, Indian bowlers also gave away 246 runs. That means overall 499 runs were scored in the match. It often happens that in T20 format, a score of 250 runs is considered safe, but the counter-attack by the England batsmen exposed the bowling layer of Team India.

This is the reason why despite the victory in the semi-finals, tension was clearly visible on the face of Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav. However, he still gave credit for the victory to the bowlers and excellent fielding. After the match, captain Surya said that it is an incredible feeling to reach the final of this tournament.

Captain Surya praised Sanju Samson

Suryakumar said after the match, “It is an incredible feeling. Going to Ahmedabad for the final is a very special feeling for the players. Praising the contribution of Sanju Samson (89) in the team’s big score, he said, “When Samson had to come out to bat, he completely knew what he had to do. The team needed the same performance from him and he did the same.

He said, “I told Harry (Brooke) how many more runs we need to score against you. They were always in the contest and were chasing the target well, but the way Bumrah, Arshdeep and the rest of the bowlers turned the match back towards us was incredible. It was a brilliant bowling performance.

Akshar and Hardik’s fielding was tremendous

Akshar Patel took two brilliant catches in the match while Hardik Pandya ran out England’s centurion Jacob Bethlad at a crucial juncture. Suryakumar said, “We also have to give some credit to our fielding coach T. Dilip. The players are responding brilliantly and working extra hard, the effect of which is visible on the field.

He said, “I was very nervous during the match, at that time my heart beat might have been between 160-175. When we entered the field, the stadium was about 80 percent filled. Hopefully we have given a good match to the audience.
