India`s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has revealed that his Mumbai U-22 coach Vilas Godbole predicted that he would play for India, a decade ago. SKY first wore the India cap in 2021. 

“When Sir [Godbole] watched me play for the first time that day [at MCA-BKC ground], immediately after the nets, he quietly whispered in my ears, ‘mark my words, you will play for India,’” Suryakumar wrote in Godbole’s book, Cricket Coaching and Beyond, which will be released in Mumbai today.
