ICC T20 World Cup: A new format brings new hope. As the afternoon sun shone over Manuka Oval in Canberra, Suryakumar Yadav’s men began their T20 preparations with renewed energy and purpose. Having stumbled in the ODI series, India now eye redemption as they switch gears for the five-match T20I series against Australia, beginning Wednesday.
The training session reflected a mix of intensity and calm. Players were seen going through running and stretching drills, fine-tuning their movements and coordination. Head coach Gautam Gambhir kept a close watch on proceedings, offering tactical insights and ensuring every player stayed focused on the task ahead.
While the ODI defeat exposed areas to address, the shorter format gives this young Indian side a clean slate and a chance to reassert their flair. The Suryakumar-led squad, featuring a blend of fresh faces and proven performers, will look to set the tone early in what promises to be an exciting contest.
