“It feels good to win 24 and 26 games in a row. It is a very special feeling. When we won in 2024, we thought it would be very special to do it again at home in 2026,” Surya told PTI video from his residence.“The next target is to win the Olympic gold medal in 2028. The team has good momentum and it would be great if India can win the T20 World Cup in the same year.”Drawing comparisons with the likes of Rohit and Dhoni, he added: “It feels good to join this elite company.
