NEW DELHI: India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav added star presence to Wimbledon this week, attending the iconic Grand Slam event at the All England Club with his wife Devisha Shetty.

With a grin, he said:“They are already pulling off all the shots which are not easy to be played on the cricket field. But there’s one similar shot which I feel is also played on the tennis field - where they run backwards and play between their legs. I think that’s called a tweener. Yeah, that tweener shot. That’s one shot which I want to try when I’m playing on the cricket field.”

Wimbledon had earlier shared a charming picture of Surya and his wife, captioning it: “Bringing the flair to SW19. Delighted to have you at Wimbledon, Suryakumar Yadav!”
