'Stop sweeping me': SKY responds as Suryakumar Yadav & Rashid Khan engage in a friendly banter

Team India began their Super 8 campaign with a big win over Afghanistan, establishing their supremacy in the Caribbean Islands. After being undefeated on a two-paced track in New York, the Rohit Sharma-led side has emerged as a strong contender for the ICC T20 title. Suryakumar Yadav, the ICC's number one hitter, proved to be clinical for the Indian Cricket Team, scoring a half-century and putting up the crucial runs on the scoreboard. SKY also handled one of Afghanistan's most notable players, Rashid Khan, with ease. Surya and Rashid engaged in some friendly conversation on the pitch when they faced off in the Super 8s.

T20 World Cup: Rashid Khan & Suryakumar Yadav face off in a friendly banter as India defeats Afghanistan

When India was batting in the first innings, Suryakumar Yadav went into an all-out assault with the bat as he raked up runs on the scoreboard, the Indian side needed him to step up, and he did so effectively. He even put up a strong effort against Rashid Khan, who scalped the wickets of some of the top Men in Blue stars. But SKY stood like a wall against him as he raked up boundaries and sixes.

At one point in the match-up, the cameras show Rashid Khan and Suryakumar Yadav having a conversation on the pitch. Ravi Shastri, who was on commentary duties for the match, speculated on what Rashid might have been telling SKY. Shastri adds, "Stop sweeping me, he says," as Rashid was seen in the camera. It seemed like the Indian batter was responding to Rashid as well, and Shastri stated that Suryakumar replied, "It's not my fault!"

In terms of the match, Team India put on a tough overall effort, attacking from all angles. While Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya batted, Jasprit Bumrah led the bowling attack. Kuldeep Yadav claimed two wickets, Arshdeep three, and Jadeja and Axar one each as they knocked Afghanistan out for 134. India won the Super 8s match by 47 runs, and it would be a significant boost for the team as they continue in the crucial campaign.
