The moment underscores how IPL teams use pop culture to deepen fan engagement.

Overview

  • Mumbai Indians shared a video of Suryakumar Yadav recreating Akshaye Khanna’s viral dance move at a team event, and the clip spread fast across social media.
  • The step comes from the song Fa9la in the film Dhurandhar, where Khanna’s character Rehman Dakait makes a stylized entry that sparked a nationwide trend.
  • Fans praised Yadav’s timing and charisma as crowd videos circulated, with comments hailing his playful take on the now-familiar hook step.
  • At a separate MI ceremony after the win over Kolkata Knight Riders, Yadav joked with Jasprit Bumrah using a line from the film, drawing laughter from teammates and staff.
