India’s T20 World Cup-winning captain Suryakumar Yadav’s teammates at the Parsee Gymkhana club have hailed the star attacking batter for his never-say-die attitude, insisting that his professional approach to the game even at club level has been an inspiration to the team’s youngsters.

“Surya’s achievements show that we should not give up in any situation and must keep trying hard all the time. When he was about to play for India and even after he played for India, Surya has always prioritised club cricket. We have a Whatsapp group for our Parsee Gymkhana team and Surya always keeps posting motivational messages to the youngsters, urging them to strive hard to do well,” Mumbai Ranji Trophy star and Parsee Gymkhana’s left-arm spinner Shams Mulani told mid-day on Monday.
