IND vs AUS: The boys are not putting too much pressure on me – Suryakumar Yadav after India’s win in the second T20I

Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav talked about the win in the second game. He said that his players are performing well and are not pressure on him. He also lauded Rinku Singh for his staggering finish in the end. He elaborated:

“The boys are not putting too much pressure on me. They are taking onus. I told them before, to be prepared to bat first. There was a lot of dew. We talked about defending it later. When I saw Rinku come in to bat in the last game, the composure he showed was brilliant. It reminded me of someone(laughs). Everyone knows the answer(laughs again).”
