Well, before losing his wicket to Kane Richardson just after completing his fifty, Suryakumar was caught on the stump mic saying he was not in the mood to bat aggressively today, which left fans in splits. His exact words were, "Maarne ka mood nahi ho raha hai yaar,".
Following his savage statement, Suryakumar got out on the very next ball he faced while playing a slower full toss delivery off Richardson, who took a simple return catch to send the batter back to the pavilion. Following Surya’s wicket, even Richardson broke into laughter.
