Suryakumar Yadav, the captain of India’s Twenty20 international team, gave bowling a shot in the current Buchi Babu Tournament. In the third day of the match against the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association, the colourful batsman chose to wave his arms during the last over of the first session. This resulted in a high full toss that startled the short-leg fielder.
Suryakumar Yadav lost control of the ball and bowled a full toss during the third ball of the over. The cricket player played it on the front foot and pulled it, forcing the short-leg fielder to duck.
Batter Athish S R recognised the opportunity to dismiss it to the stands and took it. Without delay, Suryakumar apologised by raising his hands and returning to his bowling mark.

The way the 33-year-old bowls also suggests that the Indian team management wants to see the cricketer bowl more often so that he can play frequently in the other two game types. In the series’ last Twenty20 International, he was observed bowling against Sri Lanka. He claimed two wickets to send the game into Super Over.
TNCA XI, meanwhile, scored 286 runs in their second half. Athish scored 57 runs, while Lokeshwar S, his opening partner, scored 73. Afterwards, Mokit Hariharan scored 52 runs, which greatly burdened the guests. After putting Mumbai on the ropes for 156 runs in the first innings, TNCA XI scored 379 runs and gained a 223-run advantage.
It’s a huge mountain to climb on the last day of play for the Sarfaraz Khan-led team to win the match with 510 runs needed. The game now lies with the hitters, despite the outstanding performances of Shams Mulani and Tanush Kotian with the ball in the third innings, where they claimed four and five wickets, respectively.

After Day 3, they were behind by 503 runs, and in order to fight for a victory, they would need a solid top order combination. Given the circumstances, they will also need to play a really tough brand of aggressive cricket.
