“The boys are very excited. Everyone is very keen to be a part of this squad going into the T20 World Cup,” Suryakumar added.
“I have shared a lot of experiences. I have been part of a wonderful unit in 2023 when we played the ODI World Cup in India. The vibe was completely different.
“I have told them that it’s a completely different ball game. Yes, the fans will be similar (in turnouts), how you see in franchise cricket but when India comes in picture, when you play for the country, it has a completely different emotion altogether.
“So they are very excited. We have been trying to play a different brand of cricket. Hopefully we continue the same thing going into the World Cup.”
India will kickstart their campaign on February 7, 2026 against USA at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
