Renowned for his impressive cricketing skills, SKY also shines off the field with his charm and humor. During a recent T20 World Cup press conference, he found himself in a humorous situation when a journalist mistook him for Mohammad Siraj.
Rather than taking offense, Suryakumar responded with his characteristic wit, saying,
“Siraj toh nah hai… Siraj bhai khana khaa rahe hain” (Siraj isn’t here. He’s having food).
His quick and humorous response not only lightened the mood but also showcased his friendly nature.
