Mumbai Indians\u2019 Suryakumar Yadav has been a fans favourite for the longest time. He is adoringly referred as “SKY” by the cricket fans. But have you ever wondered\u00a0Why Suryakumar Yadav is called SKY.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Suryakumar Yadav<\/strong> got the nickname SKY due to his name itself. SKY is just a simple abbreviation of his long name. They are just initials of his name. S stands for Surya, K stands for Kumar and Y stands for Yadav.<\/p>\n

Suryakumar Yadav<\/strong> set out with a dream of playing for India and at the age of 30, that dream finally came true.<\/p>\n

SKY<\/strong> made his debut for India<\/strong> in the 2nd T20I against England<\/strong> but didn’t get a chance to bat in the game as the hosts registered a comfortable 7-wicket win. He\u00a0announced his arrival at the international stage with a six. In the fourth T20I against England, Suryakumar Yadav came to bat at no. 3 and at the very first ball of his international career, the stylish batsman played a pull shot against Jofra Archer to slam a six.<\/p>\n
