Team India’s jovial camaraderie is once again in the spotlight as cricketer Suryakumar Yadav took a playful jab at his teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal’s recent Instagram post. The Indian contingent, currently stationed in New York for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup set to kick off in the West Indies and the USA on June 1, seems to be in high spirits despite the impending competition.
The Indian team arrived in New York in two waves, with the first group led by skipper Rohit Sharma and ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Following suit was the second batch comprising players like Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, and the young sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Jaiswal, taking a break from the cricketing grind, shared a snapshot of himself exploring the bustling streets of New York City on his Instagram handle. However, his lighthearted post didn’t escape the notice of his mischievous teammate, Suryakumar Yadav. The latter, known for his playful banter, couldn’t resist teasing Jaiswal in the comments section, quipping, “Sambhaal ke. Garden me ghoomega tho pata hai na,” hinting at the renowned Central Park in New York City.
Amidst the jest and camaraderie, the Men in Blue have wasted no time in getting down to business, gearing up for the highly anticipated T20 World Cup. Placed in Group A alongside traditional rivals Pakistan, co-hosts USA, as well as Ireland and Canada, the Indian squad faces a challenging yet exciting road ahead.
Their journey kicks off with a clash against Ireland on June 5 in New York, marking the beginning of what promises to be an exhilarating campaign for the Indian cricket team on the global stage. As the countdown to the T20 World Cup commences, the banter and camaraderie within the Indian camp serve as a testament to the team’s unity and spirit as they aim to conquer cricket’s ultimate prize once again.
