One of the finest batters in T20 cricket, Suryakumar Yadav didn't get the nod for India's opening Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Australia.

As the team management preferred the pairing of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul in the playing XI, Suryakumar warmed the bench. But, that didn't prevent him from evading the eyes of the shutterbugs.

The attacking batter, sitting on the bench, was snacking when a cameraperson got a glimpse of him. As the cameraman focussed on Surya, the Indian cricket team star's reaction left fans on social media in splits.

Surya was chewing his food when a cameraperson captured him in the frame. Probably realising that he is on the big screen, the middle-order batter suddenly decided to stop chewing his food and became absolutely still.

Before that, Rohit struck 87 on a challenging pitch to help India post 229 for 9 after being put in to bat. "You don't see that every day when you are defending such a total. Our seamers exploited the conditions very well, there was swing and lateral movement available (on the pitch)," Rohit said at the post-match presentation.
