IPl 2023: The most successful franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mumbai Indians, have a very active social media presence. In latest, the franchise gave their star batter Suryakumar Yadav a funny greeting in a newly released Instagram video. The video got even their rivals Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star Virat Kohli and Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Shikhar Dhawan bursting into laughter.
The opening scene of the video is at the team hotel, where Surya is seen struggling to remember the password needed to access his room. The Indian cricketer continued to attempt some humorous Bollywood phrases after the punch card denied entrance, but these attempts were also unsuccessful.
Finally, Surya was heard shouting “Supla Shot”—a famous scoop for which he is most known. The password then successfully worked.
