The first T20 match saw India secure a 48-run victory over New Zealand in Nagpur, where Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy led the team to success. He is now looking forward to Abhishek Sharma replicating his performance, given that he scored an impressive 84 runs off just 35 balls.

Suryakumar Yadav: “We are aiming to maintain our momentum and give a strong response in the second T20. I am confident that Abhishek will bring his best form again.” (This quote is exact as per the original article.)
