Watch: Camera Catches Suryakumar Yadav Snacking On Team India Bench. His Reaction Is Viral
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.
"No One Told Me How To Do It": Kuldeep Yadav's Sharp Counter On Bowling Criticism
A few years ago, when Kuldeep Yadav got clobbered in white ball cricket, everyone told him what his problem was: slower through the air and the lack of pace off the surface to trouble batters. But no one told the 29-year-old left-arm wrist spinner what was the solution to that problem even as he sustained a serious knee injury during the COVID-19-hit IPL in the UAE in 2020. Asked how he increased the pace on his deliveries, which has helped him become India's most consistent ODI bowler in the past 18 months, Kuldeep gave a very interesting but tongue-in-cheek answer.
First Time Since 1983! Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan Achieve Unwanted Cricket World Cup Record
India were off to a horrible start to the run chase against Australia in their opening match of Cricket World Cup 2023 on Sunday with skipper Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer all losing their wickets without scoring a single run. This was the second instance in Cricket World Cup history that both of India's openers were dismissed for a duck in the same match. Before Kishan and Rohit, the dubious feat was achieved by Krishnamachari Srikkanth and Sunil Gavaskar who were dismissed without disturbing the scorers against Zimbabwe in the 1983 Cricket World Cup. That match is incidentally etched in history books thanks to a stupendous 175-run knock by Kapil Dev that left the cricketing world stunned.
