Everyone had a story: Suryakumar Yadav reflects on India’s World Cup-winning journey

New Delhi, March 11(UNI) Reflecting on the personal conversations and moments that helped shape India’s triumphant campaign at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav said belief, trust and strong team spirit played a decisive role behind the scenes.
Surya spoke about emotional exchanges with several players in the squad, including Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson, highlighting how their willingness to prioritise the team above personal roles defined India’s successful World Cup journey.
“The stories of some players in our World Cup squad have been very inspiring and emotional. If you talk about Siraj, I called him a few days before the tournament. He was sitting with his friends, wearing a cap and eating food. I told him Harshit Rana is injured, you have to join the squad. He said, 'Surya bhai, are you kidding me?' That was his first reaction.
