Suryakumar is currently in the Caribbean alongside the Indian Cricket Team for the T20 World Cup 2024. Just yesterday, June 20, the T20I specialist scored a rapid fast fifty, guiding India to a victory against Afghanistan in the Super Eight. While Suryakumar continues to make records at the ICC event, Gujarat ensured to highlight the importance of today’s occasion. They shared a picture of the Indian batting star on X while converting his first name to a yoga pose ‘Suryanamaskar’. “Best way to star International Yoga Day,” the franchise wrote.

Following the India versus Afghanistan clash, the fans were also treated to Suryakumar Yadav’s humour after he was mistaken for Mohammed Siraj. In the post-match conference, a journalist accidentally addressed Suryakumar as his bowling compatriot. However, the Indian batter took it quite sportingly and gave a golden answer. He said, “Siraj toh nahi hai..Siraj bhai khana khaa rahe hain [Siraj is not here, Siraj’s brother is having food].”

Suryakumar Yadav will next feature in India’s upcoming T20 World Cup Super Eight fixture against Bangladesh. The match will be played tomorrow, June 22, at Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium.
