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

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.

Ricky Ponting's Future In Focus As Delhi Capitals Eye Leaner Coaching Staff Post IPL 2023: Report

Delhi Capitals are likely to have a much leaner coaching staff next season with head coach Ricky Ponting's future set to be examined at the end of the season. As far as David Warner is concerned, he has been the team's highest run getter and best performer and unless he himself wants to concentrate on batting alone, he will finish the season as skipper. DC have already lost five games on the trot in the ongoing IPL and if they lose to Punjab Kings on Thursday, they will be the first team to be out of play-off contention with half a dozen defeats.

Wriddhiman Saha miscued a delivery from the New Zealand pacer and the ball went high into the air.

"As Skilled As Any Batter In India": Shane Watson Refuses To Give Up On Under-Fire DC Star

Legendary Australia all-rounder Shane Watson has thrown his support for India batter Prithvi Shaw, who has been struggling in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) after months of scoring runs in domestic cricket, saying that the young batter is as skilled as any batter in India and should be allowed to make full use of it without any fear of mistake or dismissal. Used as an 'Impact Player' during Delhi Capitals' loss to Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB), Shaw looked cold after not taking to the field during the fielding and was run out for a duck.
