World No.1 T20I batter Suryakumar Yadav had some fun at the expense of his young teammate, India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, on social media. As the Indian cricket team prepares in New York for the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup, Suryakumar couldn’t resist commenting on Jaiswal’s Instagram picture.
The Indian cricket team, which landed in New York in two batches, is gearing up for the T20 World Cup set to be played in the USA and the West Indies starting June 2. The first batch included captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid, and pacer Jasprit Bumrah, while the second batch included Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, and Jaiswal.
Jaiswal shared a photo of himself exploring the streets of New York. Suryakumar Yadav, known for his witty remarks, poked fun at the young cricketer by commenting: “Sambhaal ke. Garden me ghoomega toh pata hai na,” referencing a popular line.
The Indian team has already commenced their World Cup preparations in New York. Placed in Group A, they will face arch-rivals Pakistan, co-hosts USA, Ireland, and Canada. India will kick off their World Cup campaign against Ireland on June 5 in New York. Additionally, they have a warm-up match scheduled against Bangladesh on June 1.
India, aiming for their first T20 World Cup title since MS Dhoni led a young team to victory in the inaugural edition in 2007, are looking to bounce back after crashing out in the semi-finals of the previous edition, where they lost to eventual champions England.
