Ponting dissects Suryakumar’s captaincy after India’s T20 World Cup triumph

Sydney, Mar 14 (UNI) Big tournaments often reveal the subtleties of leadership, and the ICC Hall of Famer Ricky Ponting saw plenty of that in the way India navigated their ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 campaign under skipper Suryakumar Yadav.
India entered the tournament as favourites, carrying expectations and navigating form concerns within the squad.
The captain himself endured a challenging campaign with the bat – apart from a rescue act of 84 not out off 49 in the opener against USA, Yadav managed 158 runs across the other eight innings – yet steered the side to peak when it mattered most.
