The visit comes on the heels of Suryakumar’s recent elevation to T20 captaincy, where he led India to a commanding 3-0 series victory against Sri Lanka in his debut series as skipper. This marks a successful start to his leadership alongside new head coach Gautam Gambhir.
A key player in India’s T20 World Cup-winning team, Suryakumar’s visit to Yankee Stadium further highlights his growing international profile and the cross-sport camaraderie between cricket and baseball. India played a few of their group stage games in Nassau County during the recently concluded T20 World Cup in Americas.
