New Delhi [India], August 4 (ANI): India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav had his first batting session at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru late last week in July after undergoing a successful hernia surgery earlier this year, according to ESPNcricinfo. In June, Suryakumar shared an update on Instagram about his successful sports hernia surgery in Munich, Germany. According to ESPNcricinfo, the dynamic batter is currently under the supervision of the BCCI's medical staff as he recovers from the surgery. Suryakumar's workload is expected to be significantly increased over the next few weeks, and it is believed that he is on track for the next month's Asia Cup, which is scheduled to kick off on September 9. According to ESPNcricinfo, the Indian team is expected to travel to the UAE in the first week of September. The tournament will mark the beginning of India's preparations for defending their crown in the T20 World Cup next year. India will host the tournament with Sri Lanka.

'Feels Like We Have Won 3-2': Suryakumar Yadav Lauds India's Victory At The Oval
Last Updated: India's T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav summed it up best, saying the 2-2 scoreline felt like a 3-2 series win. Team India scripted a historic turnaround at The Oval on Monday, defeating England in the final Test by 6 runs to draw the 5-match series 2-2. The hosts needed 35 runs on the final day with 4 wickets in hand. But Mohammed Siraj had different plans. From the very first ball of the day, the Indian pacer turned the heat up, making life miserable for the English batters. He scalped three wickets in a fiery spell within the first hour, using an 80-over-old ball to deadly effect and sealing a win that will be remembered for ages. The dramatic victory in London drew widespread applause from the cricketing world. India's T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav summed it up best, saying the 2-2 scoreline felt like a 3-2 series win. 'It was a lot of fun. I am feeling as if we have won 3-2. Whatever changes were made, whoever made their debut, everyone did well. This is the effort of the whole unit. I am very happy for the team. Whenever the team performs, obviously, it feels good," said Suryakumar Yadav. When the proceedings finally began, the new ball was due in 22 balls but England went on the offensive in overcast conditions right from the start. Prasidh Krishna bowled a short ball to begin with, and Jamie Overton pulled it away for a four. An inside edge on the next ball resulted in back-to-back fours for England, reducing the target to 27 runs. Siraj, India's consistent performer in the series, made the old ball talk in his opening over from the pavilion end, immediately getting it to shape away. The dangerous Jamie Smith (2) was beaten by the first two balls before a third one in the off-stump area took the outside edge and went to the keeper, making the Indian fans in the stadium erupt in unison. After the much-needed breakthrough, a half chance against Gus Atkinson was created on the very next ball, but KL Rahul at second slip couldn't take it. In his next over, Siraj deceived Overton with a ball that nipped back, as the batter expected it to continue on the off-stump line. Overton reviewed the on-field decision, but the ball was just clipping the leg stump. At that stage, England still needed 20 runs to win. Prasidh supported Siraj from the other end by reducing England to 350 for nine, with a full ball trapping Josh Tongue in front and drawing a deafening roar from the partisan crowd. What followed next would be remembered as one of the great moments of on-field bravery. (With Agency Inputs) view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
