IND vs WI: Suryakumar Yadav irks Sanju Samson's fans after donning his jersey

While Sanju Samson fans were already disappointed after the wicketkeeper-batter was not picked in India's XI against West Indies in the first ODI, Suryakumar Yadav irked them further.

SKY, the no. 1 T20I batter has struggled to make his mark in the 50-over format despite the repeated chances. The team gave Surya another chance on Thursday. He did walk out to play against the Windies in Barbados but confused the viewers as he was donning Sanju Samson's jersey.

His act rubbed salt into the wounds of Samson's fans who have been constantly criticising the management for not giving the Kerala batter enough chances as Surya ended up faltering yet again in the format. The Mumbai batter was out after scoring a mere 19 runs.

What a gesture by Suryakumar Yadav. Heart-warming for Sanju Samson Fans. https://t.co/7dFUX091bJ

It takes a lot of guts to protest against your India and IPL captain for your beloved teammate. I respect you Suryakumar. pic.twitter.com/t5TVt2WlMD
