Across all three international cricket formats, India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav selected the nation’s greatest captain and batter of all time.
As the best Indian captain of all time, he recently named his teammate Rohit Sharma, who is motivating, in an interview. Suryakumar mentioned that Rohit has been his captain for the majority of his cricket career.
During an interview with News24, Suryakumar stated, “Look, I have played most of my cricket under Rohit Sharma, so Rohit Sharma.”
Throughout the three forms, Rohit led India in 142 matches. His notable accomplishments as captain include taking home the Champions Trophy earlier this year and winning the T20 World Cup in 2024. In addition to this, Rohit has won the Indian Premier League (IPL) five times while serving as captain.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were later selected by Suryakumar as the top hitters in ODI cricket. In addition, both of the former captains of India will make their comebacks to the international scene in the forthcoming three-match ODI series against Australia, which begins on October 19.
In the meantime, Sachin Tendulkar was chosen by Suryakumar Yadav as the game’s top hitter in the longest format. After 200 Test matches, the Master Blaster amassed 15,921 runs at an incredible average of 53.79 to end his Test career. After some deliberation, Suryakumar Yadav decided he was the best batter in T20Is. At an average of 37.08 and a strike rate of 164.21, the flamboyant hitter has scored 2670 runs in 90 Twenty20 Internationals.
My thoughts are on the 2028 Olympics and the T20 World Cup: Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav, 35, disclosed during the conversation that he would be open to competing in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
As of right now, I feel like I’m about 34 or 35. In my opinion, it will benefit both the team and myself if I devote myself fully to white-ball cricket for the next three to four years. There, my contribution will be far more effective. If you want the truth, I might be thinking about the 2028 Olympics and the T20 World Cup. I shall closely observe the situation. My body needs to stay in shape this year and next. Suryakumar Yadav remarked, “You know, when you reach 37 or 38.”
Moreover, Suryakumar Yadav stated that if he hadn’t been a cricket player, he would have pursued a career in business, particularly after marrying Devisha Shetty, a businesswoman.
Without a doubt, I would have been conducting business. I know a little about business. “And ever since I got married, talking to my wife has made me realise that if I hadn’t played cricket, I could have doubled, tripled, or quadrupled my money because she comes from a business family and has a full business background,” he concluded.
