The star-studded Indian team managed to set foot in the proceeding edition of the T20 World Cup on a positive note. The prominent international side displayed clinical performance in both departments in order to register a remarkable victory over hosts Australia in a formal warm-up fixture earlier in the day.
KL Rahul was India’s pick of the batters with an explosive knock of 57 upfront while returning Mohammed Shami remained as the top bowler with as many as three wickets in just one over. Men In Blue will be featuring in another warm-up encounter at the same venue against Kane Williamson-led New Zealand after a day’s rest (Wednesday).
Stump mic catches SKY saying ‘Maarne ka mood hi nahi ho raha’
Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav has caught some limelight on social media after he was caught saying ‘Maarne ka mood hi nahi ho Raha on the stump microphone. The incident occurred in the last over on the first innings when the Indian batting lineup was looking to conclude things on a high.
Unfortunately, Yadav lost his wicket on the very next ball, which eventually cost the Indian team at least a dozen runs. He visibly lost his concentration getting dismissed caught and bowled by a full-toss delivery of Australian pacer Kane Richardson. The middle-order batter looked furious while having a long walk back to the Indian dressing room.

Suryakumar Yadav has been India’s pick of the batters in the last couple of years. The right-hander occupies the second position in the updated ICC T20I rankings. He will be key for the Indian team’s success in the upcoming mega ICC event.
“I thought we batted well, towards the end we could have added 10-15 runs more. We always want a set batter to stay till the end, Suryakumar Yadav did it, overall a great batting effort with a nice bounce, was a pitch where you can trust your shots,” said Rohit Sharma in the post-match presentation.
