NDTV
Suryakumar Yadav and Rahul Dravid were involved in a free-wheeling conversation after the conclusion of the 3rd T20I against Sri Lanka in Rajkot.
Arguably the finest T20 batter in the world at the moment, Suryakumar Yadav has literally been giving an inferiority complex to all other batters in the world. With his stunning 51-ball 112 against Sri Lanka in the 3rd T20I of the series in Rajkot, Surya once again left the cricket world awestruck. His coach Rahul Dravid, who had quite a contrasting style of play during his active days as a batter, couldn't resist poking fun at the attacking batter after seeing him score yet another T20 ton.

In a video shared by BCCI after the match, Surakumar and Dravid could be seen involved in a free-wheeling chat. It was then that Dravid poked fun at Surya, suggesting the latter would've never seen him bat as a child, highlighting the fact that he was a defensive batter during his playing days, in comparison.
"I have someone here with me, who I am sure, as a young kid, didn't watch me bat. And I hope you did. Surya, exceptional. Just the form you have been in. Every time, I think I haven't seen a better T20 innings, you show us something even better," said Dravid at the start of the video
In response to Dravid's comment, Surya said: "I did", before the India head coach continued saying: "I hope you didn't, I am sure you didn't".
