IND vs WI 2nd T20I: Suryakumar Yadav wears Arshdeep's jersey after delay due to 'crucial luggage'

During the second T20I between India and West Indies, Suryakumar Yadav was spotted wearing Arshdeep Singh's jersey. This, after the match had been delayed by 3 hours earlier on Monday, because of a delay in the arrival of 'crucial team luggage.'

This wasn't the first time an Indian player was spotted wearing a jersey of his teammate, as fans had earlier spotted Deepak Hooda wearing Prasidh Krishna's jersey during the ODI series. Hooda was spotted wearing a taped jersey, with a hidden name during the second ODI. 

Fans speculated that Hooda might have been wearing Krishna's jersey as the number '24' was earlier donned by the latter in the previous match.
