India's T20 cricket team, led by Captain Suryakumar Yadav, has seen remarkable success in recent competitions. The team's strategy of overcoming the fear of failure in high-stakes knockout games has been pivotal. This bold approach has helped India secure two ICC titles and an Asia Cup over the past 15 months.

Suryakumar emphasized a crucial mindset shift starting in 2022, when the team decided to embrace a fearless style of play to win championships. This new mentality was developed post the T20 World Cup in Australia and resulted in a victorious ICC campaign for the first time in over a decade.

In addition to a strategic overhaul, Suryakumar acknowledged the influence of fellow cricketer Rohit Sharma, whose leadership skills significantly impacted his own. Having learned the nuances of leadership from Sharma, Suryakumar appreciates their long-standing camaraderie and the invaluable lessons garnered from Sharma's experience on and off the field.
