Nayar emphasizes India’s strength, stating, “We are the strongest side.” He believes that India’s performance has consistently demonstrated their dominance in T20 matches worldwide.
The Significance of the Toss
The toss is likely to play a crucial role in the tournament, especially given the conditions in India. Nayar notes, “If the dew sets in and Suryakumar Yadav starts winning tosses, you’re winning the trophy.” This highlights the importance of strategic advantages in the game.
Concerns Over Suryakumar Yadav’s Form
Despite these optimistic predictions, there are concerns regarding captain Suryakumar Yadav’s recent performance. His statistics from the 2025 season raise eyebrows. Over 20 matches and 18 innings, Yadav scored only 213 runs, averaging just over 14 runs per innings. His last significant contribution was a half-century, scoring 75 against Bangladesh in Hyderabad back in October 2024.
