And Then I Thought”: Suryakumar Yadav On Approach That Helped In Regaining Form In IPL 2023

Mumbai:

A relaxed approach turned things around for Suryakumar Yadav who came good on Sunday with a classy 43 after aggregating just 16 runs in three previous IPL matches as Mumbai Indians beat Kolkata Knight Riders by five wickets here. Suryakumar, the world’s number one T20I batter, had scores of 15, 1 and 0 before his 25-ball knock of 43, which had four boundaries and three sixes. “I relaxed and had an easy walk to the wicket, took my time for the first 6-7 balls. And then I thought if I get my eye in I can take it forward,” Suryakumar, who stood in for regular captain Rohit Sharma, said.
