Mumbai Indians’ star batsman Suryakumar Yadav played one heck of an inning against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the just-concluded match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Just as when the team required someone to deliver, Suryakumar Yadav held his nerves and played a fearless brand of cricket. He once again carved out a reputation for himself as a flamboyant batter in the run-chase.
Suryakumar Yadav mounted immense pressure on the RCB bowlers by smashing sixes and fours with relative ease. He scored a quickfire 83 off just 35 balls where he struck 7 fours and 6 sixes to his name.
