Indian captain Rohit Sharma has heaped praise on Suryakumar Yadav ahead of the semi final clash against England. 

The Men in Blue will take on the Three Lions in the semis tomorrow and India will be desperate to book their place in the final of the showpiece event. 

The Indian captain revealed that Suryakumar is the kind of player who does not carry any baggage in his style of play and past failures have no bearing on his performance. Rohit Sharma also added the the Indian middle order star thrives under pressure and the sky is the limit for him if he continues to hone his talent. 

Speaking to journalist Debasis Sen, Rohit said: "He is a sort of guy who doesn't carry baggage. When it cones to handling extra pressure, he has it in him. He enjoys pressure. Sky is the limit for him. "

Suryakumar Yadav has been in magnificent form in the T20 World Cup 2022 so far.  He has scored 225 runs in five matches so far. His knocks against South Africa and Zimbabwe were exceptional and he will be a key player for India in the semis against England. 

The 32 year old has shown that he can shoulder responsibility in the big games. When the Indian top order failed against South Africa, he took charge and propelled India to a respectable score. India will need him to play with similar intent in the remaining matches of the World Cup.
