Ind vs Eng – Suryakumar Yadav says no issues working with ‘good friend’ Hardik Pandya

Suryakumar – who also took his first steps towards being one of the great T20I batters of his generation under Gautam Gambhir‘s captaincy at Kolkata Knight Riders – feels the working relationship he has with Gambhir is rock-solid. Since Gambhir took over as coach in mid-2024, India have T20I series wins in Sri Lanka, at home against Bangladesh, and in South Africa, losing just one game across those three series. While their Test form might be under scrutiny, in T20Is, Suryakumar believes they are moving in the “right direction” with Gambhir.
