Speaking on the show, the right-hander revealed, “I found out about this name much later. I had not paid a lot of attention to it.

“When I looked at him he said ‘I am calling you, haven’t you checked out your initials’. That is when I realised it comes out to be SKY,” Suryakumar said while talking about how he got his nickname.
Asked about Gautam Gambhir’s role in his rise, Suryakumar said that Gambhir put him on the right track.
“When I left Mumbai Indians and went to KKR in 2014, Gambhir looked at me and felt that he could guide me and put me on the right track and he did that,” Suryakumar said.
The middle order batter has been in good form this season too but his team Mumbai Indians have had a forgettable tournament so far, losing all six of their matches thus far.
SKY is one of the top-rated batters in the Indian Premier League. Yadav’s performances in the IPL over the years have catapulted him to success and eventually landed him a place in the Indian team as well.
