Suryakumar Yadav is a big fan of Rohit Sharma’s leadership philosophy that inspires him to keep his flock together by understanding his players’ psyche and find balance when the chips are down.
Surya, who took over as India’s shortest format skipper after the victorious T20 World Cup campaign, admitted that he followed “Rohit’s captaincy route” of spending a lot of time with his team off the field, which then reflects in their on-field performance. Obviously, he has “customised” it as per his leadership needs.
