Ahmedabad, March 7 -- Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav on Saturday brushed off New Zealand's Mitchell Santner's comment about silencing the home crowd ahead of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup final, calling it predictable.

Santner earlier on Saturday had said his team aims to quieten the packed Narendra Modi Stadium crowd during Sunday's T20 World Cup final.

Yadav felt such statements are becoming cliches, saying, "Everybody is saying the same line. They should try something new".

Yadav's response echoes the sentiment that these remarks are common before big matches, similar to Pat Cummins' statement before the 2023 ODI World Cup final, which Australia won.
