Team India defeated Bangladesh by a huge margin of 133 runs in Hyderabad. This is the third biggest victory of the Indian team in T20 International. Sanju Samson had an important contribution in this. He played a brilliant inning of 111 runs in 47 balls at a strike rate of 236. Apart from him, other players including Hardik Pandya also played stormy innings and helped in scoring a record 297 runs. After winning the series 3-0, captain Suryakumar Yadav talked about the team's approach. He revealed in the post match interview that he wants such players who play for the team and not for themselves. However, after some time Samson exposed him.

Suryakumar Yadav becomes 'Selfish'?

Captain Suryakumar Yadav praised the batsmen for playing as per the need of the team. In the interview, he told that all the players have already been told that no one is bigger than the team. If a player is on 49 runs but the team needs a big hit on 99 runs then he will have to do this work.

Suryakumar Yadav said “We want to be selfless players, selfless team – that has been the talk, even if you are batting in 49 or 99, if the team wants to hit then you need to do it for the team”. pic.twitter.com/KKolhAXyvE

However, after some time Sanju Samson exposed him in an interview. When Samson himself was on 96, he told Surya that he would try to hit boundaries. At that time, the captain of the team had become 'selfish' for him for a while. He advised to play comfortably. That means Captain Surya changed his emotions in a moment, but it was beneficial and Samson managed to score a century.

Suryakumar Yadav said in the post match interview that 'as a team we have achieved a lot of success. We wanted to create a selfless team. In such a situation, we needed such cricketers who enjoy each other's performance. This statement of the captain also proved to be correct. When Samson scored a century and went to receive the Player of the Match trophy, the rest of the team was seen cheering him. Many players congratulated him on social media.
