In an interesting turn of events, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted a viral video from the India vs Pakistan marquee clash, which happened on Sunday, February 15, in Colombo. Notably, the video revealed a few key details from India’s huddle during the game.

Interestingly, during the whole game, Indian players weren’t seen making any aggressive antics. In the video posted by the BCCI, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav could be seen informing the whole team not to say anything to anyone.
"Keep running in between the overs. Kisi se kuch bolna nahi (Don't say anything to anyone). We have to play good cricket. We will win this game with good skills," said Suryakumar during the huddle.

On the other hand, former Indian cricketer and commentator Sunil Gavaskar has heaped praise on the skipper Surya for bringing in exceptional game awareness within the team after the team’s 61-run win over their arch-rivals.
"You have to play according to the situation, and that is what Captain Suryakumar Yadav has done. He has led from the front. In the match against the USA, when India were in trouble at 77 for 6, Surya bailed the team out, and here against Pakistan, when he came out to bat, India were at 88 for 2. Then he batted until the 19th over, scoring 32 runs. Yes, he didn't bat at a high strike rate, but he ensured that wickets didn't fall, keeping hold of one end,” Sunil Gavaskar said on JioStar.
“The rest of the team understands that in T20 cricket, you don't want dot balls-you want to reduce them-but you also don't want to throw your wicket away trying to hit sixes. Being aware of the match situation, ground conditions, and even which way the wind is blowing is important, and Suryakumar Yadav has brought that awareness into this Indian team," he added.
India will next take on the Netherlands in their fourth group stage game on Wednesday, February 18, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
