Suryakumar Yadav’s Heroics Help Mumbai Indians Defeated Punjab Kings

The fans in Mohali witnessed absolute madness with the bat. There were 4 players from both the teams that showcased their best gameplay. After Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma’s innings, Punjab Kings had 214 runs on board. Mumbai Indians lost Rohit Sharma in the first over itself but Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan were in no mood to stop. Suryakumar Yadav scored 66 runs at a strike rate of 212.90 and Kishan had 75 runs at a strike rate of 182.93.

Mumbai Indians comfortably won the game by 6 wickets and 7 balls to spare. After his heroic match-winning innings, Suryakumar Yadav received praise from former fast bowler S Sreesanth. The truly amazing shots that Suryakumar played left Sreesanth speechless. Analyzing the post-match performances, Sreesanth called Suryakumar Yadav a “mathematician”. Completely in awe of the performance he added that there was no limit for the batter.

For Suryakumar Yadav, even SKY is not the limit: S Sreesanth

“SKY isn’t just a batter, he’s a mathematician. The way he carries himself is simply superb. He dissects the field like a mathematician uses a compass and a protractor on the paper. He makes those calculations brilliantly inside his sharp mind and makes full use of the dimension of the ground, the pace of the bowler, etc. He literally knows exactly where the fielder is and where the gaps are. He’s so precise. They say ‘sky is the limit’ but for Surya, even SKY is not the limit,” Sreesanth said. In addition to speaking about the batter, the former bowler added that Mumbai Indians have gotten back to their winning spree and it will now be difficult to stop them.

The Mumbai Indians‘ batting line-up is pretty strong with big hitters like Suryakumar Yadav, Tim David, Cameron Green as well as Tilak Verma. Suryakumar Yadav started off the IPL season with a series of low scores but now has made a phenomenal comeback. Their next assignment will be to defeat Chennai Super Kings and take a huge jump on the points table with 12 points. CSK had their last game against Lucknow SuperGiants which was washed away by rain.
