Suryakumar Yadav loves movies, but he’s not a fan of people making up stories about his life. Recently, he got pretty upset about rumors suggesting he might join Goa’s Ranji Trophy cricket team, especially after talks began about his teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal possibly making the same move. According to The Indian Express, Jaiswal is looking to switch his domestic allegiance from Mumbai to Goa starting in the 2025-26 season. Apparently, he even emailed the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) asking for a No Objection Certificate to make it official.
While that was already making waves, things escalated when the Times of India jumped in with reports that Jaiswal might not just switch teams but also become the captain of Goa. They mentioned the Goa Cricket Association (GCA) was trying to snag some players from the MCA and that Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma were on their radar. With all this chatter buzzing around, Suryakumar reached his limit and took to social media to call out the rumors, and it was clear he was not in the mood for it.
He posted something pretty pointed on his official account, questioning if the people spreading these stories were writers or journalists. He added that if he wanted to laugh, he’d rather watch comedy movies than read such nonsense. His frustration seemed to stem from a part of the TOI article that claimed he could be playing a ‘lead role’ in convincing players to switch teams, which led MCA president Ajinkya Naik to hold meetings about it.
Script writer hai ya journalist? Agar hasna hai toh I will stop watching comedy movies and start reading these articles. Ekdum bakwas 🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/VG3YwQ5eYb

The report mentioned there was some fuss in the Mumbai dressing room, suggesting Jaiswal’s decision might be linked to something that happened during the 2022 Duleep Trophy. It sounds like there’s a lot going on behind the scenes, with tensions brewing and team dynamics shifting. Suryakumar’s strong reaction shows he’s not one to sit back and let stories dictate his path. He prefers to carve his own way in cricket without the media spinning tales about what he’s up to.
