‘Harshit… and umm… one more guy?”
IND vs OMA, Asia Cup 2025: In a moment that could rival the best comedy reels on Instagram, Suryakumar Yadav gave cricket fans a hilarious “captain brain fade” moment during the toss against Oman in Asia Cup 2025.
After winning the toss and confidently choosing to bat first, Surya began explaining India’s team changes to the broadcaster. That’s when things got interesting. He announced:
“We have two changes – Harshit comes in, one more guy comes in… I have become like Rohit (laughs).”
Yes, you read that right. The Indian captain momentarily forgot the name of one of his own playing XI members on live TV, no less!
Surya Forgot the Second Change and said “Oh God, I have become like Rohit” 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣#AsiaCup2025 #INDvOMA

Social Media went crazy!
Cricket Twitter (or X) didn’t waste a second before dubbing it the “Rohit Sharma 2.0 moment.” Long-time fans know that Rohit’s occasional memory lapses at pressers or tosses are legendary, and Surya seems to be carrying that torch forward with style.
One user joked: “Surya forgetting his own player’s name? This is peak ‘Rohit Sharma School of Captaincy’!” Another fan added: “Next time, just write the names on your hand, Surya!”
The Mystery Player?
Turns out the “one more guy” was Arshdeep Singh, who walked into the team along with Harshit Rana. And no hard feelings – Arshdeep took it like a champ (probably with a cheeky smile in the dressing room).
