Suryakumar Yadav, one of the finest batters in T20 cricket, didn’t get the nod for India’s opening Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Australia. But, that didn’t prevent him from making headlines. 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.
Surya was chewing his food when a cameraperson captured him in the frame. Probably realizing that he is on the big screen, the middle-order batter suddenly decided to stop chewing his food and became absolutely still. The video of his reaction quickly went viral on social media, with fans finding it hilarious. Some fans even joked that Surya was trying to hide his snack from the cameras.
