    India’s star performer Suryakumar Yadav, who has been in the spotlight for his scintillating performance in the recently concluded T20I series against New Zealand, continues to garner praise from all over the world. Very recently, it was Australian star Glenn Maxwell, who jokingly said that they do not have enough money to get him to play in the Big Bash League (BBL).

    “We don’t have enough money. There is no chance. We will have to sack every player and then sack every contracted player of Cricket Australia,” Maxwell said on The Grade Cricketer podcast.

    The number one T20I batter remained unbeaten on 111 off just 51 balls in the second T20I on Sunday.

    On this, Maxwell lauded the performance, and added, “I didn’t know the game was on. But I later checked the scorecard and sent the picture of that to Finchy (Aaron Finch) and said, ‘What is going on here? He is batting on a completely different planet! Look at everyone else’s scores and look at this bloke scoring 111 off 50.”

    “The next I watched the full replay of the innings the next day and the embarrassing thing is that he is so much better than everyone else. It’s almost hard to watch. No one we have got is close to that,” he stated.

    Right before this, New Zealand batter Glenn Phillips hailed Suryakumar Yadav as an ‘unbelievable’ batter, saying that the India star’s ability to have that extra second to read deliveries perfectly and even score maximums of “bailout shots” is outstanding.

    “The thing that strikes me the most is actually how he manages to predict so well, where the ball is going,” said Phillips during the press conference after the third T20I ended in a draw following rain interruption.

    T20 World Cup 2022: Indian cricketers upset over ‘cold food and sandwiches’ served after practice

    The Indian cricket team has expressed their dissatisfaction with the ‘cold food and sandwiches’ served after the practice session. The incident occurred in Sydney, where Team India will play a match against the Netherlands on Thursday (October 27).The Indian cricket team showed their displeasure with the after-practice menu served to them on Tuesday, and a few cricketers decided to eat in their hotel rooms.

    On Tuesday, the Indian team had an optional training session in which all of the fast bowlers, along with all-rounder Hardik Pandya, batter Suryakumar Yadav, and spinner Axar Patel, were rested.

    After defeating archrivals Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team had travelled to Sydney for their next Super 12 stage game.

    A BCCI official, on the condition of anonymity, told PTI, “It’s not like any boycott… Some players did pick up fruits and falafel but everyone wanted to have lunch and hence they had food going back to the hotel.”

    “You can’t just have a cold sandwich (not even grilled) with avocado, tomato and cucumber after two hours of training. That is plain and simple inadequate nourishment,” he further added.

    According to reports, the post-practice food included custom sandwiches, fruits, and falafel (very common in this part of the world).

    Notably, unlike in bilateral series, where the host association is in charge of hospitality, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is providing food and lodging during the T20 World Cup 2022.
