This controversial incident again raised the possibility of bad blood between Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav.
Mumbai Indians swashbuckling batsman Suryakumar Yadav has taken the limelight since the Indian Cricket Control Board (BCCI) announced the Indian squad for the ODI, T20I and Test series against Australia, starting November 27. Suryakumar performed brilliantly in the recently concluded 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020), therefore, it was speculated that the hitter would be making his long-awaited debut with the Men in Blue.
However, contrary to popular belief, the right-handed hitter from Mumbai did not find a place on the national team. This resulted in a heated debate in the cricket fraternity with many people questioning the Indian selectors for being tough on a promising young man.
Suryakumar was definitely not happy with the selectors and captain Virat Kohli for the Indian snub and had made his emotions very clear by getting involved in a bobsled episode with Kohli during a match between MI and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). In a reverse clash against RCB, the MI hitter had crushed 79 undefeated in just 43 deliveries to help his team secure the game.
Suryakumar Yadav likes a meme trolling Virat Kohli
Suryakumar Yadav is once again in the news, however, this time for the wrong reasons. Apparently, the 30-year-old liked a controversial Twitter meme that was trolling the Indian captain and that was meant to favor the captain of the Mumbai Indians and the vice captain of India with limited limits Rohit sharma. Although the Mumbai Stalwart had not liked the tweet later, it was too late because many had already noticed this activity of the young gun.
The meme was from the Tamil drama and suspense Master. It showed Hitman (Rohit Sharma) fighting with the BCCI selectors, the Paper Captain (Virat Kohli), and enemies. This controversial incident raised again the possibility of bad blood between Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav.
In particular, who between Virat and Rohit should lead India in the shortest format of the game is the hot topic of the cricket fraternity. After Rohit led his IPL Mumbai franchise to its fifth title, some felt it would be the right choice to lead India. RCB, on the other hand, has yet to win its first IPL title.
However, many cricket legends and analysts, including Kapil Dev and Aakash Chopra, have backed Virat saying that India has done considerably well under his leadership, therefore India should not practice split captaincy. Also, Mumbai has much better players compared to Virat’s RCB, which relies too heavily on Kohli and AB de Villiers.
