As a leader, he led by example”, Yadav said at the pre-match conference ahead of the 1st T20I against the Aussies.
Yadav also talked about the World Cup final which sent shockwaves through out the country. He was very honest about it and said that particular loss will take time to heal.

India were on a 10-match unbeaten streak before they lost in the Final. The Men in Blue earlier won the Asia Cup in September, beating Sri Lanka at the summit clash.
