India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has backed captain Suryakumar Yadav’s leadership. He praised the skipper for remaining calm and consistent, regardless of personal performance.
Taking charge of India after a World Cup win is never easy. Replacing a senior and popular captain like Rohit Sharma adds extra pressure. Yet, ten Doeschate said Suryakumar handled the transition smoothly.
The coach revealed that Suryakumar has built a strong understanding with the team over the last 18 months. His communication with players has remained steady. This has helped create stability in the dressing room.
Even during a lean patch with the bat, his attitude did not change. He continued speaking to teammates in the same manner. According to the coach, that consistency earned respect.
Ten Doeschate called this Suryakumar’s biggest strength. Whether he scores zero or plays a match winning knock of 82, his personality stays the same. That balance has benefited the squad.
In a high pressure environment like Indian cricket, composure matters. A grounded captain can influence team morale positively. So far, Suryakumar Yadav’s calm leadership seems to be working well for India.
