Suryakumar Yadav reported his entry in the continuous Indian Head Alliance (IPL) season with a rankling fifty against Illustrious Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday. Surya was not part of the Mumbai Indians’ playing XI in the domestic diversion. He was subbed in the first inning as an affected player when the Hardik Pandya-led side was chasing an overwhelming target of 197 runs at the Wankhede Stadium.

Surya scored a match-winning 52 against RCB, and the execution made a difference in helping him claim the dressing room Player of the Match award. MI has presented a one-of-a-kind award to respect the top-performing players of the group in each coordination. Separated from Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan too got the extraordinary grant from MI proprietor Nita Ambani. The adolescent too merits much credit for his team’s prevailing triumph over RCB. Ishan Kishan crushed 69 runs off 34 balls.

His thump, which comprised seven boundaries and five sixes, without a doubt built the establishment for an effective chase. Kishan was similarly brilliant with his glovework. He pulled off a plunging exertion to take the pivotal capture of Virat Kohli, who fell casualty to Jasprit Bumrah for the fifth time in the history of the IPL. Besides Virat Kohli, MI pro pacer Jasprit Bumrah sent off unsafe players like Faf du Plessis and Mahipal Lomror.

The Indian speedster wrapped up the diversion with a five-wicket pull. Much obliged for his remarkable bowling, Bumrah took home the official Player of the Coordinate award. Speaking of Suryakumar Yadav, the 33-year-old player missed the first few matches of this IPL. He made his debut appearance of the season against the Delhi Capitals last week but failed to deliver anything critical. He looked to have found the groove back at home. Surya whacked five boundaries and four maximums amid his 19-ball spell against RCB, recording a strike rate of more than 270. As far as MI’s general execution is concerned, the five-time champions made a sad start to the 2024 IPL campaign. After enduring three massacres in a push, they got the way better of the Delhi Capitals and RCB in successive matches. Because of the back-to-back wins, MI have captured the seventh spot in the IPL 2024 standings.
