After failing to open his account in his last outing, Suryakumar Yadav bounced back in style in the ongoing game between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh.
The right-handed batsman failed to open his account in the last match against Chennai Super Kings. In the ongoing match, he scored fifty good goals to put Mumbai Indians in a commanding position. Suryakumar Yadav came out to bat in the third over of the innings after Kagiso Rabada dismissed Ishan Kishan for just eight runs.
Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav then steadied the ship with an 81-run stand. Sam Curran broke the stands by dismissing Rohit for 36. Unlike Rohit, Suryakumar Yadav made the most of the outing and scored a good fifty. The Indian star seemed to be in good touch and the Punjab Kings needed something special to get rid of him and avoid inflicting further damage.
Prabhsimran Singh did exactly that when he put in a brilliant effort to send Suryakumar Yadav back. On the second ball of the 17th over, Sam Curran bowled an open yorker and the Mumbai star reached for the ball. He, however, ended up throwing the ball over the spot area where Prabhsimran Singh was standing.
At first, it looked like the ball would go over Prabhsimran Singh’s head. However, the PBKS star made a timely leap and caught the ball above his head with both hands to return to the dangerous batsman. Suryakumar Yadav departed after scoring 78 runs off 53 balls with the help of seven fours and six sixes.

Talking about the ongoing game, MI finished their innings at 192 for 7 after being asked to bat first. After Suryakumar’s departure, Tilak Varma came up with an excellent cameo to take his team to a total of over 190. He remained unbeaten on 34 off 18 balls.
