Suryakumar Yadav's Words Echo India's Dominance, Says 'Ticked Almost All Boxes' In Group Stage Ahead Of Super Eights

India T20 World Cup: India captain Suryakumar Yadav said his team has ticked almost all the boxes in the group stage, expressing satisfaction with the collective batting effort as it heads into the Super Eights of the T20 World Cup.

India's top order found it tough against off-spinner Aryan Dutt before Shivam Dube struck a 31-ball 66 to power them to 193 for six.

In reply, India restricted the Netherlands to 176 for seven in 20 overs to seal a 17-run win, their fourth successive victory in the tournament, and finish atop Group A.

"We have ticked a lot of boxes. Even when you win, you learn a lot of things, and we did today," Suryakumar said at the post-match presentation.

"We wanted to bat first, went on to score 190. There was a bit of dew, a little challenging for the bowlers but all in all, very happy," he added.

India were 69 for three in nine overs before Dube counter-attacked in the middle overs.

Suryakumar said such contributions were crucial, especially if the team finds itself in similar situations later in the tournament.

"We might be in a similar situation (losing early wickets), but it is important for the batters to understand what their responsibility is. We have firepower (later)," the India captain said.

"Contributions coming from every batter. One or two might have a beautiful day, but we need contributions from each and everyone."

Praising Dube's knock, he said: "When he (Dube) played at Vizag (against NZ), he had another knock. He wanted to get the Player of the Match award that day too but (for India) to get to 190 (tonight), it was amazing," he added.

India used as many as seven bowlers in the match, something the skipper described as a positive dilemma.

"Sometimes it is a good headache to have. Have a lot of options. On a given day, whatever the wicket demands, they can chip in. Happy with the way things are moving," Surya said.
