Cricket is celebrated as the biggest phenomenon in the country, with cricketers arguably being the biggest stars. However, with great stardom comes little privacy, and this extends beyond their off-field activities.
The camera, panning around the stadium, with fans eagerly hoping to see themselves on the big screen, is a common part of the "must-do" list when attending a match in the stadium.
The enthusiasm for the camera runs high among fans but not necessarily among the players.
There have been several instances where on-field players have been caught off-guard, and it's safe to say that not all of them appreciate it.
However, some moments captured on camera have provided light-hearted and amusing anecdotes.
In a recent case, Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav, a part of the Indian World Cup squad, was unexpectedly caught on camera while enjoying a meal. It's fair to say that the situation put Suryakumar Yadav in an awkward position.

Suryakumar, fondly known as "SKY," and his side-eye expression are currently trending on social media, thanks to the amusing turn of events.
As a global cricket icon, Virat Kohli constantly faces pressure to maintain his privacy, especially because he and his wife, Bollywood star Anushka Sharma, are a highly prominent Indian couple.

In 2020, during a Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL match, Virat waved to his wife Anushka in the stands, inquiring if she had eaten. This heartwarming moment went viral on social media.
There have been numerous instances when the Indian skipper was seen having his fair share of fun with the camera. There have also been moments when the camera captured Rohit in the midst of enjoyable interactions with his teammates.
