"De Do Bhaiya Bat": After Virat Kohli, Rinku Singh's Funny Request To Suryakumar Yadav Goes Viral
India star Rinku Singh has once again caught limelight for asking a bat from his fellow teammate.
Rinku Singh has once again caught limelight for asking a bat from his fellow teammate. He earlier asked Virat Kohli for the latter's bat during India Premier League 2024. The request of the southpaw was later fulfilled. He has now asked Suryakumar Yadav for a bat. Putting a picture of his with Rinku, the T20I skipper of India put an Instagram story with the caption, "Theek hai bat le lena (Okay, take the bat). Resharing the story through his profile, Rinku wrote, "De do bhaiya bat (Give me the bat, brother)."
See it here:
Swashbuckling batter Suryakumar last week expressed his delight at being appointed captain of the Indian T20I side for the tour of Sri Lanka, saying the last few weeks have been "nothing short of a dream".
In a heartfelt post, Suryakumar thanked everyone for keeping faith in him and for receiving plenty of support in recent times. The 33-year-old Suryakumar succeeded Rohit Sharma as India's captain in the shortest format ahead of flamboyant all-rounder Hardik Pandya.
"Thank you so much for outpouring love, support and best wishes from you. Last few weeks have been nothing short of a dream and I am truly grateful," Suryakumar wrote on Instagram.
Suryakumar was part of the team that triumphed in the T20 World Cup last month and signed off by pulling off an extraordinary catch in the deep off the bowling of Pandya to send back the dangerous David Miller who looked on course to take South Africa past India's target in the title clash at Barbados.
His deputy in Sri Lanka will be Shubman Gill, who will be donning the vice-captain's hat.
The 24-year-old replaced Hardik as the vice-captain of the ODI as well as the T20I teams.
However, the star all-rounder will be travelling as a player for the T20I series.
