NEW DELHI: Just as the Indian cricket team gears up for a high-stakes season under his leadership, T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav (SKY) has found himself at the center of an unexpected social media storm. Actress and model Khushi Mukherjee, known for her stint on popular reality shows, has made a sensational claim, asserting that the star batter used to “message her a lot” in the past.
While SKY is currently focused on defending India’s crown in the upcoming 2026 T20 World Cup, these “sliding into DMs” allegations have left fans and the cricketing world buzzing with questions.
