Suryakumar Yadav mocked by netizens for lauding Virat Kohli on 'Test cricket' tweet

Mumbai cricketer Suryakumar Yadav dazzled during his side’s triumphant run in the recently-concluded Dream11 Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) season. Despite an impressive outing with the bat (480 runs in 16 matches), the right-hander was excluded from India’s touring party for the impending series against Australia. The 30-year-old later found himself at a centre of controversy as he liked a tweet (now removed) which poked fun at Indian captain Virat Kohli and the national selectors.
