The India vs South Africa T20I series was a decent outing for the Suryakumar-led side. While the first T20I was washed away due to rain, South Africa defeated India in the second T20I. However, India struck back in the third T20I with skipper Suryakumar Yadav scoring a century and Kuldeep Yadav picking a five-wicket haul. Rinku Singh‘s solid show in the series was also a big positive for the Indian cricket team, which is preparing for the 2024 T20 Cricket World Cup in June. In that sense, there will be a lot to ponder upon by the Indian cricket team.
In the midst of this, a video has been going viral on social media. In the video, Suryakumar Yadav can be seen talking animatedly to an Indian cricket teammate, in the team bus. While it is not clear whom Suryakumar Yadav was talking to, Arshdeep Singh was sitting at the direction where the India batter pointed towards. The video was originally posted by @OneCricketApp and has gone viral. NDTV could not independently verify when and where the video was filmed.
There were various reactions to the video, with some even calling it a prank.
He noticed people taking video, must’ve done it mischievously. Look at him, he’s about to laugh.
