India vs South Africa Live Score: Suryakumar Yadav reveals Rohit Sharma’s philosophy
Suryakumar Yadav on Thursday shared a key lesson he learned from Rohit Sharma, emphasizing the importance of maintaining balance, especially in challenging times. According to Surya, Rohit’s philosophy centers on staying grounded, even when things aren’t going your way. Rohit has taught him that life balance is essential, helping players handle losses and setbacks without getting overly emotional. As India’s T20I captain following the World Cup triumph, Surya acknowledged adopting ‘Rohit’s captaincy route’ of dedicating substantial time with teammates away from the cricket field, believing it enhances their performance during matches.
Naturally, he has ‘customized’ this approach to align with his own leadership style and requirements.
“Winning and losing is part and parcel of sports. Everyone has done hard work. Sometimes you do well and sometimes you don’t,” said Surya, on the eve of the first T20I against South Africa in Durban, when asked about India’s 0-3 defeat against New Zealand.
“I have learnt from him (Rohit) that in life, balance is important, after doing well, even if you lose, your character should not change. This is one quality sportsman should have,” Surya added.
“A leader is one who decides how his team plays a particular format,” said the world’s top T20 batter.
“When I am on the ground, I keep noticing him. How his body language is and how he keeps calm and how he treats his bowlers, how he speaks to everyone on and off the field. I know how he treats his players, what he wants from them.
