In an IPL 2023 match against RCB, Suryakumar Yadav dominated proceedings with ease, and Zaheer Khan couldn’t believe it.
Zaheer Khan, a former Indian pacer, stated that the only way to stop an on-song Suryakumar Yadav is to “hold his bat” or “hold his legs” from behind. At the Wankhede Stadium on a humid Tuesday night,
Mumbai Indians defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) with a score of 83 off 35 balls and as many as six sixes and seven fours from Suryakumar, who was once again at his sensational best. MI soared into the top three of the IPL 2023 points table with the victory.
Zaheer Khan, an expert on JioCinema, couldn’t believe how easily Suryakumar Yadav took control of the proceedings, saying: He has been batting that way, so they need to hold his legs or his bat from behind.
He went through a difficult period, but once he found his rhythm, the good got even better. This won’t ever be uplifting news for the bowlers.”
When the right-hander is in that kind of form, it is nearly impossible to set a field for him, according to Zaheer, who has worked with SKY as a member of the MI support staff.
“No field situation can help them because of the way he hits and the way he moves towards it.
The former India pacer continued, “Every time I watch them play, it seems like the bowlers are trying to bowl beyond the off stump and pack the side with four guys. You cannot stop this as long as SKY continues to score fours.
MI broke records to reach home in 16.3 overs with six wickets remaining after setting a challenging target of 200 for victory.
Nehal Wadhera, as well, conveyed a sublime execution with the bat, hitting an unbeaten 52 off 34 balls.
There were four boundaries and three sixes in his knock. Earlier, skipper Faf du Plessis’ 65 (41b, 5×4, 3×6) and Glenn Maxwell’s 68 (33b, 8×4, 4×6) had helped RCB reach 199/6.
The success took MI to 12 focuses from 11 games and they presently lie in the third spot in the 10-group table.
Then again, RCB is in the seventh spot with 10 focuses from 11 games, and the rush to the end of the season games is hotting up.
