Suryakumar Yadav, the Mumbai Indians veteran batter, departed for a golden duck again against the Punjab Kings after Arshdeep struck twice in consecutive deliveries.
The Mumbai Indians are already in a very poor position in this edition of the IPL, having lost three matches in a row after a winning start to their campaign. Having lost the last three matches, they need to bounce back.
Their next scheduled match is against the Punjab Kings, which marks another contest in the rivalry week, after the Shreyas Iyer-led side knocked the Mumbai Indians out of Qualifier 2 of the previous edition of the IPL.
Suryakumar Yadav departs for another golden duck; Awful form of the Indian skipper continues
The Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav won the ICC T20 World Cup with India in this edition of the competition; however, his batting form has been a major concern for the Men in Blue. Now it has been an even tougher job for the batter to break the shackles in the IPL for the Mumbai Indians.
Though Surya’s run drought has not continued in the IPL, he has not been seen at his very best. He used to be MI’s key man whenever they chased big totals; however, that’s not been the case in this edition, while his strike rate has also dropped significantly.
Suryakumar came out to bat after Ryan Rickelton’s awful dismissal to Arshdeep Singh’s loosest delivery. However, Surya nicked one that was way outside the off-stump and was caught sharply by the short third-man fielder. He was dismissed without scoring.
