During any cricket match in India, players have often been seen cussing in anger, and Mumbai Indians’ Tilak Varma did just that in the match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Tilak was seen cussing in frustration after a horrible mix-up with Suryakumar Yadav that resulted in his runout.
Mumbai Indians (MI) were in control against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 23 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Wednesday (April 13) at MCA Stadium, Pune. They were cruising at 120/3 in 12 overs after coming to chase 199, thanks to breezy cameos from Tilak Varma and Dewald Brevis. The 18-year-old South African departed after scoring 49 off 25 balls.

However, with Suryakumar Yadav at the crease and Kieron Pollard still to come, the MI was looking good to win the ball. But the MI lost the plot from the next over, when a massive mix-up between Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma took place in the middle. Suryakumar was on strike and flicked Arshdeep Singh towards mid-wicket.
Tilak Varma looked very positive to complete the run from the non-strikers’ end, while Suryakumar kept watching the ball. As a result, both batters ended up almost at the same end, and Mayank Agarwal, who was there at short mid-wicket, threw the ball straight to Arshdeep to complete the runout.

In the end, The MI only managed to reach the score of 186/9 and lost the game by 12 runs. With that, they have endured five successive defeats in IPL 2022.
