‘Why should we change?’: Suryakumar Yadav on India’s winning formula

For India, this ( India vs South Africa ) series is the start of a 10-match run into the home T20 World Cup in February, but Suryakumar said the groundwork was laid long back.

“Our 2026 T20 World Cup preparation began right after we won the T20 World Cup in 2024… Our preparation is similar. The preparation started after the T20 World Cup 2024 got over. Since then, we have been trying new things and everything is working for us.”

He underlined that India’s recent success stems from consistency of selection.
