Former Indian T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav has put an end to the controversy surrounding his viral "Accha toh chal raha hai" remark, clarifying that he never made the statement in the context it was being circulated on social media.
In his post, Suryakumar wrote, "I'm very happy for the team and wish them nothing but the very best, always. I know the boys are giving it their all, and they will always have my full support." He also had a special message for teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, encouraging the youngster to enjoy every moment of his international journey and continue making the country proud.
The 35-year-old also addressed a false statement that had been circulating online in his name. He firmly denied making or authorizing any such remarks and urged fans not to believe or share unverified information. "I've also noticed a statement being circulated online that has been falsely attributed to me. I want to make it clear that I have not made or authorized any such statement. Please don't believe or share unverified information," he wrote.
Responding to queries by media persons in Mumbai on India's recent performance in UK tour, Suryakumar smiled before replying in Hindi, "Mujhe? Aare accha toh chal raha hai,". This statement of his went viral with netizens construing that he was being sarcastic over India's humiliating loss to Ireland in T20 series.
Suryakumar concluded his message by reaffirming his loyalty to Indian cricket and his teammates. "My support for Indian cricket, my teammates, and the game will always speak louder than words falsely attributed to me," he added, putting an end to speculation surrounding his views after being overlooked for multiple series.
For now, Suryakumar has made his position crystal clear, he has no intention of mocking Team India. Instead, the star batter continues to back the national side while waiting for another opportunity to wear the Indian jersey once again.
