Suryakumar Yadav, India's newly appointed T20 captain, expressed his determination to avoid the pitfalls of his previous domestic captaincy as he prepares to lead the team against Sri Lanka for the first time. The 33-year-old took over the reins from the beloved Rohit Sharma, who stepped down from the 20-over format following India's triumphant World Cup campaign in June. Despite competition from all-rounder Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar secured the captaincy role, with concerns over Pandya's recurring injury absences playing a factor in the decision.
