Indian team will bat according to the conditions
In the press conference, Suryakumar Yadav also stated that the team's goal will be to play positive and aggressive cricket. He clarified that the Indian team will bat according to the conditions, but will not shy away from scoring a big total if the opportunity arises.
Suryakumar Yadav said, "We will try to bat well in the final match. If we score 250 runs in this match, it will be great. However, we don't think that way or plan in advance. We will score runs based on the wicket. We will try to defend whatever score we make."
Surya's statement is also being seen as a warning to New Zealand. Earlier, Kiwi captain Mitchell Santner had also described India as a strong team and praised their batting and bowling.
This is a very special moment for me: Surya
Suryakumar Yadav appeared very excited before the final match. He said that it was a matter of pride for him to captain the Indian team in the final of such a big tournament. Recalling his international career journey, he said that this is a very special moment for him.
Surya said, "I am very excited. Not only me, but all the players, support staff, and fans are also excited about this final. We want to continue that trend. I have had a long six-year journey with the Indian team. I am very happy and excited to captain India in such a big tournament." According to Surya, the team's entire focus is on performing well in the final and winning the trophy.
Dew can affect the outcome of the match
During the press conference, Suryakumar Yadav was also asked about the impact of dew on the match. He said that dew can affect the outcome of the match, but it is a factor that no one can control. He said, "Sometimes the timing of the match matters a lot. If the timing is right, you make decisions accordingly. If there is a difficult situation, you can't do anything. When there is dew, it is helpful for batsmen."
Suryakumar Yadav believes the team must tailor its strategy to the circumstances and make decisions on the field accordingly. All eyes are now on this exciting final match.
