[WATCH]- “Aaj Sher Ghaas Kha Raha Tha”: Suryakumar Yadav Cracks Joke After AUS Vs IND 4th T20I

Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav cracked a funny remark about opener Abhishek Sharma after the fourth T20I against Australia at Carrara Oval, Queensland, on Thursday. Speaking to journalist Vimal Kumar before boarding the team bus, the 35-year-old joked about Sharma’s unusually slow start.

Abhishek, usually known for his aggressive batting, struggled with timing in challenging conditions, scoring 28 runs off 21 balls before being dismissed by leg-spinner Adam Zampa. The video, shared by Vimal Kumar on Instagram, captures the Mumbai-born cricketer’s humorous comment.

“Vimal bhai, kabhi dekha hai sher ko ghaas khaate hue? Aaj sher ghaas kha raha tha dheere dheere karke. Achi baat bol raha hoon. (Vimal bhai, have you ever seen a lion eat grass? Today, the lion was eating grass slowly and steadily. I’m praising him).”

Abhishek’s 56-run opening stand with Shubman Gill powered India to 167/8, with Gill top-scoring at 46 and key contributions from Suryakumar (20), Shivam Dube (22), and Axar Patel (21*). Australia fell 48 runs short, giving India a 2-1 lead in the five-match T20I series, with one game remaining.

“Bowlers Adapted Quickly With Dew”-Suryakumar Yadav

At the post-match presentation, Suryakumar Yadav credited the win to a team effort and specifically lauded the bowlers for their adaptability, adding:

“Credit to all the batters, especially Abhishek and Shubman. The way they started in the powerplay was smart, they realized early it wasn’t a typical wicket for 200+. Everyone chipped in, and it was a complete team effort with the bat. The messages were clear from outside as well, me and Gauti bhai were on the same page.”

“The bowlers adapted quickly, especially with a bit of dew coming in. The way they bowled was fantastic. It’s great to have bowlers who can give you two or three overs, and on some days even four,” he added.
