Making his debut as captain, Suryakumar didn't just steer his team to victory; he also exhibited his batting mastery by hammering an impressive 80 runs off just 42 deliveries, crafting an innings befitting of a captain. Partnering with Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar orchestrated a remarkable 112-run alliance as India successfully chased down Australia's imposing total of 208 for 3, securing a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Surya had contributed just 18 runs in the World Cup final against Australia on Sunday as India lost by six wickets on the big stage.
