Star batter Suryakumar Yadav was a menace with the bat for India in their opening match of the T20 World Cup Super 8 stage against Afghanistan in Barbados. He made 53 from 28 balls with five fours and three sixes, helping India post a challenging 181-8 on a difficult batting track. Despite the 33-year-old currently the no. 1 T20I batter in the world, a journalist mistook him as Mohammed Siraj during the pre-match press conference. While the journalist mistakenly addressed Surya as Siraj, the India batter took it sportingly and came up with a hilarious reponse to leave the entrie press box in splits.
