‘Wasn’t this the moment you’ve been waiting for?’: Sachin, Kohli wish India Under-19 boys the best for World Cup final

Legendary Indian cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli shared a special message for Yash Dhull-led India ahead of their U19 World Cup final against England at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Saturday.

On Twitter, Tendulkar shared an inspirational message for the U-19 boys, recalling a solution he discussed at the 2011 ODI World Cup in India on how to deal with expectations. His message was the same headline he tweeted for the video post – “You have the power of over a billion people to support you…”

“Well done for our Indian U19 team in the World Cup in the West Indies. You played some amazing cricket despite all the challenges. I know of some players who tested positive for Covid-19 and couldn’t Play in the XI but remember that champions don’t have the best of everything, if they have everything, they will be the best. This is not the moment you’ve been waiting for. This is the time to go out and be yourself and express yourself ,” he said.

“I remember the 2011 World Cup we were in India and we had a discussion in training camp about how to deal with expectations and pressures and solutions, with a billion people supporting us instead of sitting on top of us. Because the force and The direction of the pressure is important. If it’s moving forward, it’s pushing you toward your goal. If it’s pushing you down, you’re slowly sinking. I want to wish you all the best and give your best.”

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
