Mumbai : Mumbai Indians' Suryakumar Yadav showed glimpses of his true quality in Sunday's match against Kolkata Knight Riders, calming the nerves of India fans who may have been doubting the batting lynchpin six months out from the Cricket World Cup on home soil.
Mumbai Indians set a new precedent in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 clash against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday, with full-time skipper Rohit Sharma coming on as an impact substitute. It was Suryakumar Yadav who led the team on the field, with Rohit remaining completely absent from the first innings during MI's bowling. However, even when Rohit came out to bat at the start of the team's batting with Ishan Kishan, it was Surya who remained the team's designated skipper.
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.
Ishan Kishan (58) and Suryakumar Yadav (43) led the charge as Mumbai Indians handed Kolkata Knight Riders a five-wicket defeat in their Indian Premier League match at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. The fastest century in this year's IPL for Venkatesh Iyer - 104 off 51 balls (6x4s, 9x6s) - went in vain for KKR, who suffered their ninth defeat in 10 matches here at the Wankhede Stadium, and an overall 23rd in 32 matches against Mumbai Indians. The highlight of Mumbai Indians' win was not just their sturdy response with the bat chasing 186, but their key middle-order batter Suryakumar banishing batting woes with a 25-ball 43 laced with four fours and three sixes.
Venkatesh Iyer produced a brilliant performance to score his maiden century in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 during the encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians on Sunday. The left-hander came into bat quite early after the dismissal of N Jagadeesan and he looked quite comfortable against the MI bowling attack. The innings was adorned with 6 boundaries and nine sixes with most of his runs coming from beautiful cricketing shots. He stitched together decent partnerships with Shardul Thakur and Rinku Singh before eventually getting dismissed by Riley Meredith.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 contest between Mumba Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders produced stunning scenes as the franchise's skipper Rohit Sharma came in as an impact substitute during the team's batting. Rohit wasn't part of the playing XI at the start of the match, with stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav suggesting that the skipper has a 'stomach bug'. However, after KKR's batting ended with a score of 185 runs on the board, Rohit came out to open alongside Ishan Kishan as the 'Impact Substitute'.
MUMBAI : Arjun Tendulkar, son of batting great Sachin, made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut for Mumbai Indians in their home match against former champions Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday.
Nitish Rana and Hrithik Shokeen got involved in a bitter on-field spat after the former's dismissal during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians in Mumbai on Sunday. Rana has been enjoying a brilliant run of form in the ongoing tournament but he ended up miscuing a shot off Shokeen's bowling. The ball went up quite a bit and substitute fielder Ramandeep Singh made no mistake in completing the catch. Shokeen decided to give a small send-off to the KKR skipper and that resulted in a war of words between the two cricketers. Both could be seen shouting at each other as teammates and match officials tried to keep them separate.
