Ahead of the impending bilateral series between India and Australia post the ODI World Cup 2023, Suryakumar Yadav, renowned for his prowess in T20 cricket, assumes leadership as the Indian team's captain. However, the excitement surrounding his captaincy debut was dampened as his inaugural press conference witnessed an unexpected scarcity of media representation, with only two journalists in attendance.

Contrasting the bustling media fervour witnessed during the recent ODI World Cup, Yadav faced an unanticipated minimal audience during his maiden address as India's skipper. Despite this subdued start, Yadav emphasized the significance of the upcoming series in shaping India's preparations for the forthcoming T20 World Cup in 2024.

"In view of the impending T20 World Cup, our performances in these games hold immense weight. Let's prioritize the team's success and approach every game with fearlessness," urged Yadav, highlighting the stakes associated with the series.

While refraining from disclosing India's wicket-keeper for the series, Yadav highlighted the competition between Ishan Kishan and Jitesh Sharma. "Both players have showcased commendable performances, especially Ishan, exhibiting consistency across different batting positions in tournaments like the Asia Cup and World Cup. We're on the verge of making a decision," expressed Yadav, indicating an imminent squad announcement.
