(Cricket news) The Mumbai Indians (MI) picked up their fourth win of the TATA IPL 2024 by defeating the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by seven wickets at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Monday. Batting first, Hyderabad put up 173 runs, but Mumbai chased it down with 2.4 overs to spare. JioCinema TATA IPL experts Shane Watson and Parthiv Patel praised the performance of Suryakumar Yadav (102* runs) on Match Centre Live.
Shane Watson, JioCinema TATA IPL expert, on Suryakumar Yadav – “It’s a joy for the eyes to watch Suryakumar Yadav bat like this. He’s done this so many times over his career. It really is a treat to watch this incredible batsmanship on display. His availability to find the gaps from different balls but be so aware of where the fielders are. He aimed a lot straighter today, normally he’s more square, but that just shows his ability to assess the conditions, what the wicket is doing, and be lower risk to get his innings going… This is exactly what the Mumbai Indians needed.”
Parthiv Patel, JioCinema TATA IPL expert, on Suryakumar Yadav – “The way Suryakumar Yadav batted today, you got to see both aspects of his game. Three wickets fell early, we got to see counter-attacking shots later on, especially how he batted against Marco Jansen. He got an extra bounce on those deliveries and the pitch itself is providing that, something he maximized. Showing the mindset that you can punish a bowler and take advantage of poor deliveries is important, and that’s what Suryakumar did tonight… It shows what a big batter he is.”
