Suryakumar Had Faced Outrage From Fans
Surprisingly, Suryakumar Yadav had a week back liked a post on social media which had trolled the Indian captain. This led to widespread outrage among fans who were not pleased with Yadav’s reaction. However, Yadav had managed to undo his act, but not before it was noticed by few.

Suryakumar Yadav was one of the many who had liked the trolling meme.
