Suryakumar Yadav has played many explosive innings for Team India. With his strong performances, he has secured his place in the Indian team and even captained the T20 side. As Suryakumar turns 34, let’s talk about his hidden talent.
Usually, Suryakumar Yadav is known for his batting. But rarely do people see him with the ball in hand. However, when Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, Surya’s hidden talent came to light.
In a T20 match against Sri Lanka, Surya bowled and even took a wicket. It was surprising because people are more used to seeing him bat.
