Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav adopted a disguise, assuming the role of a cameraman for BCCI’s social media ahead of the match against Sri Lanka in the 2023 ODI World Cup. He donned a full shirt to conceal his tattoos, along with a mask and a hat, before heading out to Marine Drive to engage with cricket enthusiasts in a video posted by BCCI on Thursday (November 2).

Yadav, unidentifiable in his attire, inquired about the Indian team’s performance and the players themselves. Many fans expressed admiration for their favorite cricketers, such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah and also highlighted the team’s impressive form in the tournament. Disappointed that his name hadn’t been mentioned, Yadav prompted fans to share their thoughts about him, eliciting some intriguing responses.

One supporter discussed Suryakumar Yadav’s batting and expressed a desire to see him in a slightly higher batting position. While acknowledging he wasn’t in a position to critique his technique, the fan expressed hope for his continued success.
