India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav wore the hat of a chef to introduce two new entries to the Indian team -- bowler Vyshak Vijaykumar and batsman Ramandeep Singh -- in the most innovative way, ahead of the team's opening match in Durban on Friday.
In a video shared by the BCCI on social media, Surya, popularly called SKY, is seen presenting the players like a chef explains the ingredients of his recipes on a cookery show.
"Captain & Chef SKY introduces two new faces/dishes to the team menu. Ready to serve," the caption with the video-post read. "SKY like never seen before," it added.

After the first game on Friday at the Kingsmead stadium, the remaining three matches will be played on November 10 (Gqeberha), Nov 13 (Centurion) and Nov 15 (Johannesburg).
