Team India batter Suryakumar Yadav is currently training at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru ahead of the three-match ODI series against South Africa. Suryakumar was accompanied by many other cricketers namely Rohit Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Shikhar Dhawan among others.

While Dhawan and Chahal are due to fly to South Africa for the ODI series against South Africa and Suryakumar, Rohit Sharma is currently nursing an injury that kept him out of the South Africa tour. Rohit has been at the NCA for quite some and is recovering from the hamstring injury.

Recently, Suryakumar Yadav posted an image with Rohit Sharma on the social media platform. Along with the picture, Suryakumar wrote:

“Hey b-Ro”.

The post soon went viral and was flooded with amazing reactions from the fans to it. However, the comment that stole all the attention came from Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh. She wrote:

“Give him a hug from me ”

Suryakumar Yadav was quick to notice the comment and come up with a reply to Ritika’s comment. He wrote: “Gave” with a laughing emoji.
