India captain Suryakumar Yadav was all smiles, and laughter after finally winning the toss in the 3rd T20I against Australia at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart. Having lost the toss in the first two games of the series, SKY’s exaggerated celebration after the coin landed in his favor became an instant highlight of the pre-match proceedings. His reaction, filled with joy and a touch of humor, was a refreshing moment for Indian fans and players who have watched their skipper’s luck falter at crucial tosses throughout the series.
After the light-hearted moment, Suryakumar made the strategic call to field first, believing the conditions under lights would aid his bowlers early on and make chasing easier later in the evening. The decision proved significant, as the surface promised pace and bounce, with dew expected to play a factor in the second innings.
Suryakumar’s reaction quickly went viral on social media, where fans shared clips of his animated celebration. He pumped his fist, smiled broadly, and shared a light exchange with Australian skipper Mitchell Marsh. Commentators and viewers alike found the moment hilarious, not just for its humor but for how it showcased the Indian captain’s vibrant personality and sense of relief after a streak of unlucky tosses.
The joy, however, wasn’t just symbolic. Winning the toss allowed India to implement their tactical adjustments effectively. The team made three bold changes, bringing in Arshdeep Singh, Washington Sundar, and Jitesh Sharma, to add balance and fresh energy to the playing XI. The new lineup was designed to strengthen both the bowling attack and middle order stability, as India aimed to bounce back after Australia’s strong showing in the previous game.
