Suryakumar Yadav Plays UNIQUE Shot Ahead of IPL 2023, Video Goes VIRAL | WATCH
Mumbai: Suryakumar Yadav, who is labeled as a white-ball specialist, recently made his Test debut against Australia in the absence of Shreyas Iyer. Ahead of the fourth and final Test at Ahmedabad, Suryakumar was seen in the streets of Mumbai playing gully cricket. While his presence drew a lot of attention from the neighborhood, Suryakumar entertained his fans with a unique ‘supla’ shot. He went across his stumps and then scooped it by using the pace of the ball.
He uploaded a video of his ‘supla shot’ from gully cricket on his Instagram story yesterday evening. He captioned the story as: “Bhai log ki demand. Supla Shot.” (Supla Shot, on demand from my brothers)
And then, Mumbai Indians also posted the clip ahead of the IPL season.
The MI star has played a solitary Test, 20 ODIs, and 48 T20I matches for India to date, in which he has scored 8, 433, and 1675 runs, respectively.
