"Will also..."- Suryakumar Yadav to use this trick of KL Rahul during IND vs SA 1st T20I in Cuttack
Suryakumar Yadav, the T20I captain of the Indian cricket team, has vowed to use thic unique trick from KL Rahul for the first of the five-match T20I series against South Africa in Cuttack.
The T20I captain of the Indian cricket team, Suryakumar Yadav, has started their preparation for the upcoming five-match T20I series against South Africa, which begins on December 09 with the opening clash set to be taken place at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. However, their luck hasn’t been the same with tosses.
India’s stand-in captain in the three-match ODI series, KL Rahul, ended their nightmare of losing tosses for more than two years when he found the right side of the coin during the third ODI at the Visakhapatnam, which was their first toss win since the 2023 ODI World Cup semifinal at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
“I also do it with my left hand.”- Sky expressed in a hilarious press conference as he would aim to use the left-hand for flicking coin, which was used by Rahul for the third ODI in Vizag. The dew will be massive in Cuttack for the second innings, and that’s where it will be an acid Test.

The T20I series will see both Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill making a comeback in the national side. The former was out of action since the Asia Cup 2025 while Gill picked up the neck injury during the opening Test against the Rainbow Nation at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
I think what you saw in the Asia Cup also, when he was bowling the new ball, he opened a lot of options, lot of combinations for us with respect to playing XI. That's what he brings to the table. His experience, the way he has done really well in all the matches, all good games also, all bigger games in ICC events.” Sky shed light.
“The preparation for the T20 World Cup started after the T20 World Cup of 2024 was over. Because in any big tournament, you cannot think that the tournament is here and the preparation has started. When we give exams in school, it is not like we try to study everything in the last four days. We study for a year or two.” Suryakumar Yadav concluded.
