Indian cricket is abuzz with rumors. Reports claim Yashasvi Jaiswal will ditch Mumbai for Goa next season. Then, whispers surfaced that Suryakumar Yadav might follow suit. But India’s T20 captain isn’t having it. He shot down the rumors with a witty jab at a journalist.
Goa just got promoted to the Elite Ranji Trophy. The Goa Cricket Association is now scouting talent nationwide. A Times of India report sparked the rumor that Suryakumar Yadav might swap Mumbai for Goa. Some even speculated he’d bring other Mumbai players along.
Setting the record straight
Suryakumar Yadav took to social media to set things straight. He called out the journalist, saying, “Script writer or journalist? If I want to laugh, I’ll watch comedy films, not read these articles. Total nonsense.” His tweet was a clear dismissal of the rumors.
Script writer hai ya journalist? Agar hasna hai toh I will stop watching comedy movies and start reading these articles. Ekdum bakwas 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/VG3YwQ5eYb
