Johannesburg : Suryakumar Yadav wished the Indian team “all the luck” for the challenging Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. India’s depth of players has been one of the strongest suits of the modern-day giants. The extent of the layers in the Indian system was on full display as captain Suryakumar Yadav led the Men in Blue to a 3-1 T20I series win in the absence of mainstays.
Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill missed the tour due to the five-match Test series against Australia, which is set to begin next week in Perth. The five Tests in Australia could potentially dictate the fate of the World Test Championship final next year in London.
With the run of form against India following a historic series whitewash on home turf against New Zealand, India would need to pull four victories out of the five games to seal a trip to London.
“For the squad in Australia, I wish them all the luck. I know they’re well prepared going into the series, and I know it’ll be a challenging one, but at the same time, I wish them all the luck,” Suryakumar said in the post-match press conference.
