From his signature scoop shot to the fashion ramp, Suryakumar Yadav brings cricket flair to Ethnix by Raymond at Lakmé Fashion Week.
Cricket fans know the moment well. The ball is in the slot, the feet move into position, and Suryakumar Yadav unleashes his trademark scoop shot, sending the stadium into a frenzy. At Lakmé Fashion Week, in partnership with FDCI, the Indian cricketer brought the same flair and confidence to the runway as he walked as the showstopper for Ethnix by Raymond’s Wedding Stories showcase.
For fans who have watched SKY redefine limited-overs batting with his innovative 360-degree stroke play, his appearance on the fashion ramp felt like a natural extension of his fearless personality. India’s stylish middle-order batter closed the presentation in a statement chintz-inspired ensemble, featuring a tailored long jacket with intricate Gresham embroidery and relaxed-fit trousers.
The outfit brought together traditional Indian craftsmanship and contemporary cuts, reflecting Ethnix by Raymond’s vision of the modern Indian man. Midway down the runway, Suryakumar paused to recreate his signature scoop shot. The crowd erupted in cheers, briefly blurring the line between a cricket stadium and a fashion show.
Speaking after the presentation, Suryakumar said, “It was exciting for me to walk for Ethnix by Raymond. Wedding Stories brings together the richness of Indian craftsmanship with a contemporary sense of style, and I enjoyed celebrating their version of the modern Indian man through fashion.”
His words reflect a broader shift in how Indian sports stars are expressing themselves beyond their chosen fields. Suryakumar has built his reputation on bold, inventive cricket, and his appearance at Lakmé Fashion Week brought that same spirit to menswear.
Ethnix by Raymond Celebrates Modern Indian Occasionwear
The Wedding Stories collection was designed for occasions that matter to young Indian men, from weddings and family celebrations to other major milestones. The presentation featured asymmetric kurtas, royal bandhgalas, sleek Indo-Western outfits, tuxedos and fluid suits.
The range offered options for different wedding functions, whether a groom wants a contemporary look for the sangeet or a more traditional outfit for the pheras. The collection combines Indian design influences with modern silhouettes, aiming to make occasionwear feel both rooted in tradition and relevant to changing tastes.
By positioning the line as accessible luxury, Ethnix by Raymond seeks to bring craftsmanship and contemporary styling together. Choosing Suryakumar as the showstopper added a familiar sporting face to the presentation, connecting the brand with audiences who follow cricket as closely as they follow fashion and popular culture.
Content Creators and Music Add to the Show
The showcase also reflected the growing influence of digital culture on fashion. Six content creators, Aayush Yadav, Rahul Verma, Kunal Tomar, Manmeet Singh, Giri Sawalkar and Isshan Thakur, walked alongside professional models.
Their participation brought social media personalities into a traditional runway setting, connecting the presentation with younger audiences who increasingly discover fashion through digital platforms.
Indie band Twin Strings performed live, blending Bollywood classics, Afro house, electronic pop and a signature Raymond tune. The music added an energetic dimension to the showcase, making it a celebration of fashion, music and contemporary Indian culture.
The combination of established models, digital creators, live music and a celebrated cricketer gave the event a broader appeal beyond conventional fashion audiences.
When Cricket Meets Fashion
Indian sports stars have traditionally been celebrated for their achievements on the field. Today, their influence increasingly extends into fashion, business, entertainment and popular culture. Their public identities are no longer defined by sporting performance alone.
Suryakumar stands out for his distinctive batting style, composure under pressure and confident public persona. His appearance at Lakmé Fashion Week offered another glimpse of that identity, expressed through clothing and craftsmanship rather than runs and boundaries.
There is also a difference between simply appearing at a fashion event and making the moment one's own. Suryakumar's decision to recreate his signature scoop shot gave the presentation a personal touch. It connected his sporting identity with the occasion without making the fashion itself secondary.
For audiences familiar with his cricket, the gesture offered an immediate point of recognition. It also showed how a sporting signature can travel beyond the playing field and become part of a larger public image.
SKY's Style Goes Beyond the Boundary
As cricket and lifestyle continue to intersect, Suryakumar Yadav's appearance for Ethnix by Raymond brought two worlds together through a familiar combination of confidence, flair and entertainment.
The Wedding Stories showcase presented contemporary Indian occasionwear through traditional craftsmanship, modern silhouettes and a digital-first approach. Suryakumar added star power, while his trademark scoop shot gave the audience a moment that belonged unmistakably to him.
For Ethnix by Raymond, the cricketer provided a compelling face for its vision of the modern Indian man. For cricket fans, the runway offered a different setting in which to celebrate a player known for doing things his own way.
On the pitch, SKY is celebrated for finding gaps where others see boundaries. On the ramp, he showed that the same confidence can make a statement in fashion, too.
