India captain Suryakumar Yadav showcased his exceptional leadership skills even after the IND vs NZ series was over. At the post match presentation, the Indian skipper was presented with the trophy by BCCI president Mithun Manhas. Joining the team for celebrations, Yadav called over Ishan Kishan and Rinku Singh, handing them the award.
Surya won the player of the series and as captain led the team from the front. But he also recognised the efforts of his other teammates handing Ishan and Rinku the opportunity to hoist the trophy aloft. Both left-handers played crucial roles in the series win, just a week ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
