The cricketing world might be showering praise on Suryakumar Yadav after the Mumbai batter scored a brilliant ton last evening against England in the 3rd T20I. Despite England winning the game, fans from both sides praised Suryakumar aka 'SKY' for his brilliant batting display. But did you know Rohit Sharma had made this claim about Suryakumar way back in 2011? Social media never ceases to amaze as an old tweet from Rohit Sharma has resurfaced on Twitter wherein the current skipper is seen advising the Twitterattis about Suryakumar Yadav. He tweeted, "Just got done with BCCI awards here in chennai..some exciting cricketers coming up..Suryakumar yadav from Mumbai to watch out for in future!"





Just as Suryakumar Yadav started trending, fans started replying on Rohit Sharma's tweet. Here are some of the replies -

Earlier, England scored a massive 215 with the likes of Dawid Malan (77) and Liam Livingstone (42) contributing to the score. The Indian pace attack of Avesh Khan, Umran Malik and Harshal Patel did little to contain the English batters as the trio were hammered all over the ground.
