India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav brought laughter at the toss on Friday after forgetting the second team change, a habit long associated with ODI skipper Rohit Sharma.
Known for his playful demeanor, Suryakumar first announced Harshit Rana’s inclusion in the XI, but blanked out on the other replacement before quipping, “We have two changes – Harshit comes in, one more guy comes in. I have become like Rohit (laughs).”
The moment immediately reminded fans of Rohit Sharma’s well-known tendency to forget details at toss time from player replacements to even the coin itself.
The light-hearted banter set the tone for the day, with teammates and fans enjoying the captain’s candid admission.
