Captain Suryakumar Yadav Leans On Veteran Jasprit Bumrah In Power Play During Australia T20Is

Suryakumar Yadav recently spoke about the importance of the power play overs against Australia in T20Is. Given the way they have performed in the ODI series and the T20 WC, SKY sees it as a challenge.

The Indian captain further stated that Jasprit Bumrah taking charge during the power play overs would be beneficial for the team. Suryakumar added it would be a good challenge facing the Aussie unit during power play overs.

"Yes, it is always a challenge. We have seen how they (Australia) played in the ODI series and also in the T20 World Cup. Power play is always important.

"You saw in the Asia Cup, he (Bumrah) took the responsibility of bowling two overs minimum in the power play, so it is good that he is raising his hand, acting as if he is that guy who will take charge. It is going to be a good challenge, definitely against the Aussie team in the power play," Suryakumar Yadav said in the pre-series press conference, as quoted by PTI.
