'Iodex maliye kaam pe chaliye' - Suryakumar Yadav reacts hilariously to Hardik Pandya's comment

Surya Kumar Yadav has emerged to become a batting mainstay at the Mumbai Indians

Suryakumar Yadav gave a witty reply to Hardik Pandya after the latter commented on a post, which displayed the former training at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

Suryakumar Yadav had posted a picture on Instagram of him diving for the ball and fielding it successfully. He captioned it as 'SKY is clear to fly' cleverly punning on the word 'SKY', which also denotes the initials of his name.

His Mumbai Indians teammate, Hardik Pandya, left a cheeky comment on his post, enquiring whether the batsman's knee and elbow were unharmed.

To this, Suryakumar Yadav borrowed Iodex's tag line. To put things into perspective, Iodex is an acclaimed pain-relief balm from India.
