Suryakumar was addressed as Siraj in a press conference before the India vs Afghanistan match. The Indian batter’s response sparked a laugh riot in the room. Suryakumar Yadav is a delight in press conferences and interviews. As deadly as he is against all bowlers when batting in the middle, he is exactly the opposite when interacting with opponents, broadcasters, journalists and even the fans. Known for sporting a big smile during his public interactions, Suryakumar sparked a laugh riot with his witty response after being mistaken as Mohammed Siraj during a T20 World Cup press conference. After all he has done for India and Mumbai Indians, it is hard to believe that Surya would have to deal with an identity crisis that too in a T20 World Cup press conference. But Surya of all people, would know that unexpected things are quite the norm in cricket. A journalist mistakenly addressed Surya as Siraj in the pre-match press conference before the India vs Afghanistan match. The Indian batter took it sportingly and came up with a hilarious response. “Siraj toh nah hai… Siraj bhai khana khaa rahe hain, (Siraj is not here. He is having food),” said Surya with a big smile.
