The T20I captain of Suryakumar Yadav was certainly at his best on Thursday night during the first T20I of the five-match series against Australia in Visakhapatnam. The right-handed batter's 42-ball 80 and an unbeaten cameo by Rinku Singh helped the hosts chase down an Indian best of 209 against Australia in a T20 thriller on Thursday. Suryakumar smashed nine fours and four sixes on his captaincy debut for India as the hosts won with two wickets and one ball to spare and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
During a candid chat with the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Suryakumar was asked about his final score in the game, and his reaction to it was epic.
Suryakumar, with a sweet smile on his face, said, "Are baap re?"
