India skipper Suryakumar Yadav was a happy man for "walking the talk" in terms of executing whatever was decided at the team meeting, following an emphatic seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the opening T20I here on Sunday. The two bowling heroes -- Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakravarthy -- set up the win by hunting down the 'Tigers' for 127, and then Sanju Samson (29), Suryakumar Yadav (29) and Hardik Pandya (39 not out) finished it off in just 11.5 overs.
"We just tried to back our skills and what we decided in the team meeting, we just walked the talk. The way we batted showed our character,,", said Suryakumar during the post-match presentation ceremony.
The skipper seemed excited about the long-term prospects of having the country's fastest bowler Mayank Yadav fast-tracked into the international arena and another seam bowling all-rounder, Nitish Reddy, being inducted into the roster. "Very excited and looking forward to seeing them in the next games. It's a good headache to have when you are on the field when you have extra bowling options."
He did not specify which areas the team needs to work on but said they will address their necessary issues before the next match in Delhi on Wednesday. "You always learn something new playing every game. There will be a few areas to improve; we'll sit down and talk about it before the next game," said he.
