Suryakumar Yadav, the top-ranked batter in the T20I format, carved his name deeper into cricketing annals by notching up his fourth T20I century. The stellar innings unfolded during the third and final match of the series against South Africa on December 14 at Johannesburg.
Suryakumar’s whirlwind century, a remarkable 56-ball spectacle adorned with 7 fours and 8 sixes, underscored his mettle as a formidable force in the shortest format of the game. However, the celebratory air surrounding his on-field heroics took an unexpected turn as a video surfaced on social media capturing a heated exchange between him and India’s young pacer, Arshdeep Singh, within the confines of the team bus post-match.
The video depicts Yadav, known for his on-field composure, directing animated gestures and pointed words towards Arshdeep Singh, an incident that has ignited speculation and curiosity among cricket enthusiasts.

Brilliant all-round performance by the Indian Cricket Team
Talking about the match, Australia won the toss and opted to bowl first. Despite a strong start, India faced setbacks losing two wickets in quick succession. The partnership between skipper Suryakumar and Yashasvi Jaiswal, amassing 113 runs for the third wicket, anchored India’s innings. Suryakumar’s century and Jaiswal’s fifty propelled India to a formidable total of 201/7.
Australia’s reply, however, was marred by a resilient Indian bowling attack. Kuldeep Yadav, celebrating his birthday, clinched a remarkable five-wicket haul, while Ravindra Jadeja and other spinners contributed to the team’s dominance. The home side crumbled, managing only 95 runs, resulting in a resounding 106-run victory for India.
Despite the triumph on the field, the off-field altercation between Suryakumar Yadav and Arshdeep Singh has become the focal point of post-match discussions. Fans are eagerly awaiting official statements or clarifications to shed light on this unexpected development, adding an intriguing subplot to an already eventful T20I series.
With the series concluding in a 1-1 draw, attention now turns to the resolution of the apparent discord within the Indian cricket camp, underscoring the delicate balance between on-field success and team dynamics off the pitch.
