Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav has now become a household name across the world thanks to his fantastic performance for India in T20Is in 2022 and in the T20 World Cup as well. 

Recently, the Mumbaikar revealed that he is chased by people whenever he goes outside; this experience is new for him, but he said that he really enjoys the limelight and adulation that he is receiving presently, as it came after his long, hard work.

Suryakumar Yadav was quoted as saying by The Indian Express: “Everywhere I’m going, I have been chased by people, which is new for me. Every Indian I met in Australia or New Zealand, even at the Singapore airport, a couple screamed ‘Suryakumar Yadav, how are you’.”

The right-hander continued, “I was shocked and wondered why they are doing this, aisa mein kya kar diya (what have I done)? There has been a change for sure. I’m the same as before, just my time has changed. Now the family knows that it won’t be easy to travel with them. Earlier we used to go out for family dinners or a movie. These are the things I enjoyed, but now I know there will be restrictions.”

The 32-year-old further revealed that he loves to watch comedy films like Hera Pheri, Andaz Apna Apna, and Chup Chup Ke, as his wife asked him to maintain his work-life balance.

Suryakumar signed off by saying, “I like to watch Andaz Apna Apna, Chup Chup Ke, Golmaal, Hulchul, Heri Pheri. I can watch them endless times. Be it a World Cup game or any other game, I will watch it in my room on my phone. My wife has asked me to maintain a work-life balance.”

Notably, the Indian batter scored 1,164 runs at an average of 46.56, with two centuries and nine fifties in 31 T20Is this year. He is also the highest run-scorer in T20I cricket this year.
