India's captain Suryakumar Yadav just compared himself to former skipper Rohit Sharma at the toss time ahead of the match against Oman in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025. The incident turned into a hilarious moment as SKY forgot the name of the second player who is included in the playing XI for the game.

After winning the toss, Suryakumar decided to bat first. When he was asked about the changes made by the team, he could only think about one player, Harshit Rana, and forgot about the second player. He then went on to say that he has become like Rohit Sharma. The former India captain had a habit of forgetting the players' names during the toss time.

We want to continue the good habits we are doing in the first two games and want to continue to do that. It is looking nice and our openers will assess it further. We have two changes - Harshit comes in, one more guy comes in, I have become like Rohit (laughs)," said Suryakumar Yadav.
