Star India batter Suryakumar Yadav has been in great form off late in T20Is as he’s been plundering runs everywhere. The 33-year-old scored his fourth century in the shortest format against South Africa in the third and final game of the series on Thursday, December 15 at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. Captaining the team, he played a breathtaking innings of 100 off 56 balls smashing seven fours and eight sixes.
Courtesy of his knock, India posted a massive total of 201/7 in their allotted 20 overs and went on to win the match by 106 runs to tie the series 1-1. After the game ended, Suryakumar was also spotted in the team bus, however, the Indian captain was seen talking angrily with Arshdeep Singh. In a video, that has been going viral on social media, Suryakumar can be seen pointing a finger at Arshdeep and talking in a rather serious tone.
Whether the star India batter was actually angry or was just pulling a prank on the seamer is yet to be known.
