"I Have Not Made or Authorised Any Such Statement": Suryakumar Yadav Breaks Silence on Viral Fake Quote Former India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has publicly refuted a viral fake statement circulating on social media, urging fans to disregard misinformation while reaffirming his unwavering support for the Indian cricket team. The fabricated claim alleged that the Mumbai batter expressed dissatisfaction over his future clarity and felt he had not received the respect he deserved for his contributions to the sport. Yadav, who led India to the T20 World Cup title in 2021 before being replaced as captain by Shreyas Iyer, took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the rumors. In a detailed post, Yadav categorically denied making any such remarks, stating, "I have not made or authorised any such statement. Please don't believe or share unverified information." He emphasized that there were no hard feelings despite recent selection decisions, which saw him omitted from the squads for the UK tour and the Asian Games. "I'm very happy for the team and wish them nothing but the very best," he wrote. "My support for Indian cricket, my teammates, and the game will always speak louder than words falsely attributed to me." Yadav’s clarification came a day after India’s selectors finalized their squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, with Shreyas Iyer named captain. The decision marked a continuation of the team’s youth-focused strategy, as Suryakumar was not included in the squad. The selection reflected a broader trend of prioritizing emerging talent over established players, with young pacers Yash Thakur and Ashok Sharma earning their maiden T20I call-ups following strong performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL).#suryakumar_yadav #indian_cricket_team #shreyas_iyer #vaibhav_sooryavanshi #t20_world_cup_2021
