A batsman who is having an extra-ordinary IPL this season is none other than Surya Kumar Yadav of Mumbai Indians. He has played six seasons for Kolkata Knight Riders but was never in the reckoning before. This has been his breakthrough season where he has doubled his past best tally of a single season.
Suryakumar Yadav was used at back-end by Kolkata Knight Riders but Mumbai Indians promoted him at the top and he has delivered. He has piled up 399 runs in ten matches at an average of 39.90. Surya has also scored four half-centuries so far at the top and has been the anchor around which other MI batsmen have batted.
Mumbai came into this IPL with the IPL 2017 Trophy in their hands. Their start was poor but they have had poor starts in the past IPL also so it wasn’t treated with great worry. But they failed to win consistently and the lass against SRH at the Wankhede was the blow which made a serious dent in their campaign.
