Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh Revive Viral IPL Bat Request in Social Media Banter
Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh’s Social Media Banter Reminds Fans of Viral IPL Moment
Indian T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav and batter Rinku Singh have engaged in a humorous exchange on social media, reminiscent of a viral video from the Indian Premier League (IPL) earlier this year.
In the IPL video, Rinku was seen requesting a bat from then-Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli. The incident became a viral sensation, with fans amused by Rinku’s bold request.
Now, on the eve of India’s tour of Sri Lanka, Suryakumar has reignited the banter by posting an image of himself talking to Rinku on Instagram. Below the image, he wrote: “Theek hai bat le lena” (Okay, take the bat).
Rinku promptly reposted the story and added: “De do bhaiya bat” (Give me the bat, brother).
The exchange has delighted fans, who have flooded the comments section with laughing emojis and references to the original IPL video.
Suryakumar’s appointment as T20I captain comes after he pipped Hardik Pandya for the role. He will lead India in a three-match T20I series in Sri Lanka, followed by an ODI series captained by Rohit Sharma.
The tour marks the first assignment for Gautam Gambhir as India’s new chief coach after taking over from Rahul Dravid following the T20 World Cup.
