Not Rohit Sharma Or Shubman Gill - Suryakumar Yadav's Epic 'Tiger Bhuka Hai' Praise For India Star After Heroics vs England
India are in a great position against England in the fifth Test
The second day of the fifth India vs England Test in Dharamsala brought some really good performances from the hosts. As many as five batters scored 50-plus scores, with India taking a huge 255-run lead going into the third day of the contest. India are already leading 3-1 in  the series, and chances are high for the Rohit Sharma-led side to make that 4-1. Indian cricket team management handed debuts to many tallented stars in the series. Sarfaraz Khan is one of them.Â
In his fifth innings, Sarfaraz scored his third half-century on Friday. While Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill scored tons, Sarfaraz's innings stood out due to its aggressive nature. He scored 56 off 60 balls. His innings included eight fours and one six.Â
Suryakumar Yadav, who also plays for Mumbai like Sarfaraz, had a classic comment on his show. On his Instagram story, he wrote: "Sher Bhuka Hai"

Talking about the game, England mounted a comeback in the final session of the second day with a clinical bowling performance but India's resilient tail end kept the hosts in front in the final Test at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on Friday. At the end of the day's play, India posted a total of 473/8 on the board, leading by 255 runs with Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah unbeaten with scores of 27(55) and 19(55) respectively.
Shoaib Bashir lifted England's spirits by removing set batter Sarfaraz Khan (56) with his off-spin on the first ball of the final session.
Devdutt Padikkal on the other end went on to raise his bat after completing his maiden Test fifty with a maximum and received thunderous applause from the dressing room as well as the crowd.
India crossed the 400-run mark in the 91st over and looked unfazed in the following overs. The Somerset spinner managed to find a breakthrough by getting better of Padkikkal (65) with extra bounce and sharp spinning delivery.
Dhruv Jurel came in looking to stitch up a partnership alongside Ravindra Jadeja. The pair managed to survive for the next seven overs before India lost a flurry of wickets.
Bashir struck once again and removed Jurel (15). The young batter's dismissal opened the gates for a comeback as India ended up losing Jadeja (15) and Ravichandran Ashwin (0) in a span of two overs.
Kuldeep and Bumrah put up an unbeaten 45-run stand to once again push England's back against the wall.
