Title: IndiGo Pilot’s Heartfelt Request to Suryakumar Yadav Goes Viral
An IndiGo pilot, Jaswanth Varma, experienced a moment of excitement when he spotted Indian cricket star Suryakumar Yadav on board his flight earlier this week. Capturing the special moment, Varma shared a video that quickly went viral, amassing nearly two million views.
As the pilot greeted passengers, his enthusiasm was evident when he noticed Yadav among them. Wanting to make the encounter even more memorable, Varma took a thoughtful step and wrote a personal note to the cricketer. The message, written on a piece of tissue paper, read: “Beloved SKY! Warm welcome on our flight 6E5295 to Bombay. It’s our honour to have you onboard with us today. A small request: a group photo with the captains and crew post landing. Thank you! Regards, Pilot Jaswanth!”
A member of the cabin crew delivered the note, along with some refreshments, to Suryakumar Yadav, who kindly agreed to the request. After the flight landed, Yadav posed for a photo with Varma and the crew, creating a memorable moment for everyone on board.
This special interaction captured the spirit of appreciation, as Yadav is celebrated for his remarkable contributions to Indian cricket, including his pivotal role in India’s T20 World Cup victory. One of the standout moments in the tournament was his stunning catch to dismiss South Africa’s David Miller during the final, a game-changing moment that contributed to India’s triumph.
The heartfelt gesture by the pilot and the cricketing legend’s graciousness turned an ordinary flight into an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
