Suryakumar Yadav's moment of humor during the pre-match press conference went viral soon after the match.
A journalist mistakenly called him Mohammed Siraj, to which he responded with a smile, "Siraj toh nahi hai, yaar... Siraj bhai khana kha rahe hai." His relaxed demeanor reflected the team's confident mindset as they enter the business end of the tournament.

ICC posted the video on its social media platform, with a humorous captain: "Galti se mistake ho jati hai, Surya bhai."
