India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav on Thursday said overcoming the fear of failure in knockout games has been a key contributor to the national team’s stellar success over the past 15 months.

India have won two ICC titles and the Asia Cup since their T20 World Cup triumph in June 2024. The Champions Trophy win in February was in the ODI format but last month Suryakumar led India to their second Asia Cup title in the T20 format.
