'Hello Wellington': Suryakumar Yadav's tweet attracts cheeky reply from woman cricketer

T20 World Cup 2022 is an example that shows how India's star batter Suryakumar Yadav mesmerises the fans with his towering sixes and brilliant boundaries. But who would have thought his simple and plain tweets will also go viral?

India's T20 World Cup campaign ended with a heartbreak after the team lost the semi-final clash against England, a team that emerged as the trophy winner as they beat Pakistan in the final at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday (November 13).

Despite India's knockout-stage exit, Suryakumar Yadav emerged as one of those players who proved their mettle. In the six matches he played in the tournament, Yadav scored a total of 239 runs at a strike rate of 189.68.

After the T20 World Cup 2022, Men In Blue will now prepare for the upcoming three-match T20I and ODI series against New Zealand, which is scheduled to kick off on November 18.

Ahead of the tournament, Suryakumar took to Twitter and wrote: "Hello Wellington". The tweet appears to show his enthusiasm for the tour as the first T20I match will be played at Wellington's Sky Stadium.

But, the spinner of the Australian women's cricket team, Amanda Wellington, gave it a funny twist as she replied to his tweet saying: "Hello Yadav".
