IND vs ENG - WATCH | Bhalo ache...': Arshdeep Singh turns Bengali at Eden Gardens in Kolkata ahead of 1st T20I against England

Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India are currently in Kolkata for the first T20I against England which will take place on January 22 at Eden Garden in Kolkata. India T20I captain recalled the time when he was used to feature at Eden Gardens in Kolkata in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Suryakumar Yadav joined Gautam Gambhir-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) from Mumbai Indians in 2014. He represented the franchise for four years from 2014 to 2017, the 34-year-old scored just 608 runs from 54 games.

BCCI took their 'X' formerly known as Twitter to share a video where Suryakumar can be seen talking in Bangla with Arshdeep Singh and the pacer also responds in Bengla, here is the clip.

"It's a vintage-type feeling. It feels good when you come here. It feels good to think about it. When I sit in the room and think that when I used to play matches here in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, it was also a beautiful memory," Suryakumar Yadav said in a video posted by BCCI on X.

"I remember in 2014 when I came to KKR for the first time. Since then, till today, after 10-11 years, I never thought that I would ever lead India. But today, standing on this ground, thinking that I'm going to lead because this is also a historic stadium. It's fun to think about it and has been a beautiful journey," the right-hand batter added.
