Former India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav responds with a light one-liner after reporters tell him fans are missing him in the Indian jersey during the ongoing five-match T20I series against England. Multiple outlets report that, when asked about his absence, he answers in Hindi—"Mujhe? Arey accha toh chal raha hai"—a remark that goes viral online and draws laughter from those present.
Suryakumar is not part of India’s squad for the England series. The selection decision comes after selectors appoint Shreyas Iyer as the new T20I captain, with chief selector Ajit Agarkar stating the choice is based on form and the team’s long-term planning. His omission is described as a major talking point among fans, particularly given his reputation as a leading T20 batter.
The reports also note that Suryakumar maintains a positive, low-key public stance despite not being in the squad, including wishing the team success and avoiding controversy while supporting from outside the setup. The focus remains on his response and whether he returns to India’s T20 plans later.
