Suryakumar Yadav focused on hard work after losing India T20I spot

Former India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav said his focus remains on putting in the work and staying prepared for another opportunity after dropping out of the national team's plans. Yadav was left out of recent tours to Ireland and England.

The 35-year-old spoke about the role of spirituality in his cricket career during an event in Colombo. He revealed how Jain chanting and his association with Jain monk Namramuni Maharaj influenced his mindset during major tournaments throughout his career.

Yadav described captaining India as a privilege that carried responsibility beyond personal achievement. He remains hopeful of reclaiming his place in the T20I squad despite the recent omissions.
