Mumbai Indians’ star Suryakumar Yadav has once again shown his class in the ongoing clash against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Batting at number four, Yadav looked every bit the aggressive force, unleashing his trademark unorthodox strokes and powering boundaries all over the park.
Despite Mumbai Indians losing wickets at the other end, Yadav’s steady presence has kept his team in the hunt, as he timed the ball to perfection and entertained the crowd with his fearless batting. However, the innings took an alarming turn in the 14th over when Yadav suffered a brutal blow to his head.
Facing a short, slower ball from Prasidh Krishna, Yadav attempted a scooping shot but ended up top edging the delivery onto the peak of his helmet. The impact was significant enough to send him sprawling on the ground, sparking immediate concern among fans and team management alike.

In a matter of seconds, both Mohammed Siraj and Hardik Pandya rushed to his side to check on his condition before the physios intervened. Fortunately, the off-pace nature of the delivery and the protective grill on his helmet ensured that Yadav escaped serious injury, though the scare was palpable. His wife, watching from the stands, appeared visibly anxious as the incident unfolded.

Earlier in the match, the Gujarat Titans had built a solid total over nearly two hours, bolstered by key contributions from their top order and a crucial cameo from Rutherford, underlining the depth of their batting lineup. In contrast, Mumbai Indians have been inconsistent in the field, with dropped catches and lapses in ground-fielding exacerbating their challenges.

On the bowling front, Hardik Pandya’s return has injected much-needed energy into the MI attack as he claimed two vital wickets, while Mujeeb, though slightly expensive, managed to dismiss Buttler—an effort that potentially saved 10-15 runs during the death overs. With such dramatic turns, the match continues to be a roller-coaster ride in IPL 2025.
