While soaking up the Wimbledon atmosphere alongside his wife Devisha, India’s flamboyant T20 captain Yadav dropped a bombshell—he’s seriously thinking of trying tennis’s showstopper tweener shot in a cricket match. 

In a video shared by Star Sports, Yadav was asked which tennis shot he would love to try. Replying to the question, Surya answered: 

I feel that shot with the Player running backwards, between those two legs, I think it's called 'A Tweener' - that shot I definitely want to try in cricket to play a shot between my two legs, then I get a boundary, maybe someday

Yadav has always been known for his creativity on the field. He carries with himself a lot of confidence and is often fearless with his approach towards batting and innovative shots. His ambition to bring tennis’s tweener into cricket is more than just a whimsical stunt—it’s a testament to his confidence and appetite for innovation.

Witnessing a boundary from a tweener in cricket would be nothing short of iconic. But one thing’s certain: with SKY, expect the unexpected.
