Mumbai captain Suryakumar Yadav and teammate Sarfaraz Khan offered fans a glimpse of their lives away from cricket after a video of the duo enjoying a meal while sitting on the floor went viral. Both players were seen wearing their Mumbai jerseys and chatting with locals in a kitchen.

The video surfaced around Mumbai's opening match in the 2026-27 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on Saturday, November 14. Suryakumar led the side to a seven-wicket victory over Hyderabad at the Jadavpur University Second Campus Ground in Kolkata, chasing a target of 173 in just 13.1 overs.

Suryakumar Yadav and Sarfaraz Khan Enjoy Homemade Mutton Meal in Viral Video

The video showed the two Mumbai teammates, Suryakumar Yadav and Sarfaraz Khan, sitting on the floor and enjoying a traditional mutton meal. Suryakumar introduced their host, Manik, who had prepared the curry, while another person rolled dough and cooked fresh rotis on a stove.

Sarfaraz appeared particularly impressed with the food and joked that he had no interest in talking because he wanted to keep eating. He also thanked the people serving the meal in Bengali before the clip ended.

"Itna achcha khana bana hai ki baat karne ka mann hi nahi kar raha hai, sirf khane ka mann kar raha hai (The food is so delicious that I don't feel like talking at all. I just want to keep eating)," Sarfaraz said.

Suryakumar Yadav Smashes Fastest T20 Half-Century of His Career Against Hyderabad

Suryakumar Yadav made an immediate impact in Mumbai's opening SMAT match against Hyderabad. He smashed an unbeaten 60 off just 21 deliveries, hitting six fours and five sixes at a strike rate of 285.71.

The Mumbai captain reached his half-century in just 15 balls, registering the fastest T20 fifty of his career. His aggressive innings helped Mumbai complete the chase in 13.1 overs and secure a comfortable seven-wicket victory.

Musheer Khan also contributed with a quick 51 off 24 deliveries, providing valuable support in the chase. Sarfaraz, meanwhile, did not get an opportunity to bat as Mumbai completed the target well before the end of their innings.

Suryakumar Yadav Takes a Dig at Selector With MS Dhoni Movie Dialogue

National selector Shiv Sunder Das was present at the venue to watch Suryakumar's innings. The Mumbai captain later revealed that he had deliberately targeted the areas of the ground where the selector was seated, referring to a famous dialogue from the film M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story.

"You must have watched the movie ‘M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story’ where Mahi bhai’s friend had said, ‘Selector jahan baitha hai, wahin maarna.’ My plan was also the same today," Yadav told reporters after the match.

The 36-year-old is using the domestic tournament to push for an India T20I recall. Surya lost his captaincy and place in the national side despite leading India to the 2026 T20 World Cup victory. He has scored 3,272 runs in 113 T20I games at an average of 36.35, including four centuries and 25 half-centuries.
