In the latest released video, Gambhir highlighted that Suryakumar’s biggest strength as a captain goes far beyond his match-winning abilities with the bat. Gambhir also talked about how the Indian captain connects with players and maintains a relaxed environment within the group, something that every coach hopes for.
Gautam Gambhir said,
“Surya has made my life a lot easier in this format, and I think he’s a phenomenal leader of men, not by what he does on the cricket field, not by what he does as a batsman, or what shots he has; you can keep all that aside.”
“The way he relates to players, the way he talks to players, the way he spends time with players, how much he’s relaxed on the field—sometimes as a coach you know that you can think about a lot of other things because he’s going to keep the atmosphere pretty much calm, which is what any coach can dream of.”
Further, Gambhir stated that Suryakumar Yadav’s performance speaks for itself, and his leadership qualities really impressed him during the ongoing World Cup.
He said,
“For me, I think Surya the player, I can keep him aside, but Surya as a leader, for me, I think he’s ticked every box, and he’s just a phenomenal leader, which has made my life a lot easier. Probably it’s a great thing when you have someone like him leading the country because his heart is in the right place and he takes the right decisions, especially when things are under pressure.”
The Men In Blue are now all set to play their second game of the ongoing tournament against Namibia on January 12, Thursday, at the Arun Jaitely Stadium.
