Everyone has their sympathy for RCB bowlers but when Suryakumar Yadav is a form like that, hardly a bowler can escape from devestating batting attack of Surya’s bat. Mumbai Indians were 52 for 1 chasing 200 when he came to bat.
Two balls later, MI captain was dismissed by Hasaranga and the Wankhede crowd was silent for few overs. However, they were so lucky to witness the best innings of IPL 2023 from Suryakumar Yadav.
The readers will get the magnitude of his destructive batting ability from this stat. Mumbai Indians needed 102 off the last 60 balls to win the match. Fair enough, still a a batter’s game but the required run rate gives bowlers the opportunity to make a comeback.
In matter of 5 overs, the whole calculation changed and suddenly Mumbai Indians needed only 8 runs off 28 balls. This means that Suryakumar Yadav scored 65 runs in the next 20 balls, it was phenomenal, extraordinary and never seen before kind of hitting.
At one moment, Josh Hazlewood looked completely helpless because despite bowling good deliveries, he still got hit for two boundaries. When Sky took Hasaranga on remand, it was clear that match was over for Royal Challengers Banglore.
They had nowhere to hide, so when finally Surya was dismissed by Vijaykumar Vyshak, there was no celebration from the RCB fielding unit. A despaired Virat Kohli only went to congratulate Surya for his amazing 35 balls 84 runs innings.
Tough day for RCB bowlers at the Wankhede because certainly they didn’t have enough to defend. By the way Surya was batting, it looked that no score was safe from Mumbai’s forceful claws of chase.
