Players on the cricket field are known to be amicable with opponents from other teams and to enjoy a good ribbing. Recently, on Instagram, Indian wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav and batting master Suryakumar Yadav teased their fast bowler colleague Mohammed Siraj in a friendly manner. This playful exchange occurred on the day before the much-anticipated Super-4 matchup between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023, which is set to take place on Sunday, September 10.
Mohammed Siraj posted three photos on his Instagram, two of which showed him batting in the practice nets. In the post’s caption, Siraj wrote: Following the words “Batting prep done,” he included a fire emoji to show that he was ready for the forthcoming contest.
Suryakumar Yadav, who is well-known for both his powerful hitting and his witty comments, didn’t hold back. He made a joke in response to Siraj’s comment. As he put it: “Batting prep done,” with a fire emoji
But it was the hilarious remark made by Kuldeep Yadav that brought an additional level of entertainment to the conversation: “Lag pujji bhai rhe ho but batting (You are looking like Cheteshwar Pujara but batting…),” with a shushing face emoji and several eye emojis.

Mohammed Siraj played in the most recent match between India and Pakistan, in which the Blue Men were bowled out for 266 runs in 48.5 overs. Rain forced the abandonment of the match. He’s been on fire as of late, as he took three wickets in the recent match against Nepal. The 29-year-old bowler has a remarkable economy rate of 4.86, having taken 46 wickets in 26 ODIs. As a result of Jasprit Bumrah’s unavailability, he has been India’s primary pacer for the last calendar year. He has shown his mettle in the limited-overs game by taking 22 wickets in only 10 ODIs in 2023.
Suryakumar Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mohammed Siraj’s playful Instagram back-and-forth demonstrate the friendship and high spirits that typically prevail among Indian cricket players, even during tough competition. These views of the players’ off-field interactions only add to the anticipation of the Asia Cup 2023 Super-4 match.
