NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians showcased their dominance against Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL encounter on Monday, with captain Hardik Pandya emerging as a standout performer with the ball. Pandya’s stellar performance drew praise from former captain Rohit Sharma as Mumbai Indians secured a crucial victory at the Wankhede Stadium.The special moment came in the 16th over of the SRH innings when Hardik Pandya delivered a crucial breakthrough for the hosts by dismissing Sunrisers’ all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed. Hardik Pandya celebrates a wicket with Rohit Sharma. (Video grab) In an attempt to accelerate the scoring, Shahbaz attempted to dispatch the delivery towards the long-on region but failed to connect cleanly. The ball spiraled up in the air, only to be safely pouched by Suryakumar Yadav, who executed a commendable catch running in from the deep.Rohit Sharma, quick to acknowledge the significance of Pandya’s contribution, approached the bowler with a congratulatory pat on the back, commending his crucial breakthrough at a crucial juncture of the game. Throughout the middle overs, Hardik Pandya led the Mumbai Indians’ bowling attack with aplomb, ultimately finishing with impressive figures of 3 wickets for 31 runs in his allotted four overs. Supported ably by veteran spinner Piyush Chawla, who also claimed three wickets, Mumbai Indians succeeded in restricting Sunrisers Hyderabad to a total of 173 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs.With a target of 174 runs set before them, Mumbai Indians approached the chase with confidence, largely propelled by a scintillating unbeaten innings of 102 off 51 balls from Suryakumar Yadav. Displaying remarkable batting prowess, Yadav’s innings guided Mumbai Indians to a comfortable victory, as they chased down the target with 16 balls to spare, ultimately securing a convincing 7-wicket win.

Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya come to the party in time for T20 World Cup… albeit just

Danijones6 months ago08 mins

When India’s national selectors named the 15 for next month’s T20 World Cup exactly a week back, it was met largely with the acknowledgement that, given the circumstances, they had picked the best possible squad. There was, however, a lingering feeling that many in that party had yet to hit their straps; pedigree and reputation are excellent back-ups, but form is essential too, especially heading into the showpiece event of the cricketing year. Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya are peaking at the right time(AFP-ANI) Only skipper Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal and Shivam Dube had, at the time, showcased consistency in performance. The rest had displayed sporadic flashes of brilliance, but it was clear that they were still some way short of their best. It wasn’t necessarily a matter of concern, but how nice it would be if they could carry some momentum and confidence into the big bash, right? Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now! Download Now! Over the last few days, the mood in the country has lifted somewhat with more and more of the World Cup squad shedding lean trots and putting their hand up. While Rohit, Chahal and Dube have suffered a dip in form, understandable given the fluid and dynamic nature of the T20 game in general and the IPL in particular with its travel and recovery demands, Kohli and Bumrah have continued to flourish. It is from the return to match-winning avatars of many others that stems the optimism that India won’t be merely paper tigers when the tournament begins in the United States in three and a half weeks’ time. Several key cogs of the wheel are beginning to rediscover their mojo, none more breathtakingly than Suryakumar Yadav, the world’s No. 1 T20 batter. Suryakumar missed Mumbai Indians’ first two matches of what has been a dreadful campaign after undergoing surgery for a sports hernia. His comeback game produced a second-ball duck, and even though he backed it up with a typically exuberant half-century, he seldom put two good innings together. On Monday night at the Wankhede Stadium, against a versatile Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling group, the best of Suryakumar made a dramatic appearance. The target – 174 – was middling but MI had failed to hunt down 169 at the same venue a couple of nights back, against Kolkata Knight Riders, despite a Suryakumar fifty. When he walked out at No. 4, the chase was in disarray at 31 for two, which became 31 for three in the space of five more deliveries. As much as MI needed Suryakumar to fire for pride, Indian fans willed him to turn the clock back, their eyes already trained on the T20 World Cup. The effervescent right-hander didn’t disappoint. There were streaky strokes early on as the ball nipped around, but once he got inside the line and whip-flicked the towering Marco Jansen over fine-leg, it was as if a switch had been hit. The Suryakumar of old, fluent and composed and a fraction of a second earlier on the ball than most others, toyed with the bowling; his dominance is evident from the fact that during the unbroken fourth-wicket alliance of 143 that took MI home, Tilak Varma’s contribution was just 37 (off 32). Varma is MI’s leading scorer this season (384, strike-rate 147.12); he was totally shaded with his partner smashing 102 off just 51. Welcome back, SKY, do we say? Suryakumar’s pyrotechnics came on the back of a tidy spell from Hardik Pandya, crucial to India’s fortunes in his capacity as the designated all-rounder. Pandya has had a horror first season as MI skipper, stumbling from one defeat to another, his decision-making and lack of individual contributions competing for attention of the unwanted variety. Despite his nonchalant exterior, he must have been hurting inside; channeling his angst, he held his own against inarguably the most destructive top order of the competition, three for 31 from four tidy overs indicating that, perhaps, Pandya’s worst days are behind him. Suryakumar and Pandya are the latest in a series of India’s World Cup-bound players making their presence felt. Ravindra Jadeja, who has had only a decent tournament thus far, turned in a command all-rounder performance for Chennai Super Kings against Punjab Kings on Sunday, less than 24 hours after Mohammed Siraj confirmed that he has shaken off fatigue with two Powerplay wickets on his way to the Player of the Match award during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s rout of Gujarat Titans in Bengaluru. While Rohit will be mindful of finishing the tournament strongly – he has two more opportunities to do so – he will have taken heart from several of his first-choice personnel coming into their own at the most opportune time. Not least, his MI colleagues Suryakumar and World Cup deputy Pandya.

Suryakumar Yadav 102 vs SRH: T20 World Cup-bound MI star perfectly times return to form

Danijones6 months ago09 mins

Suryakumar Yadav came up with a statement of sorts on Monday at the Wankhede Stadium. His IPL 2024 form before MI’s home game against SRH was likened to the keys on a piano — up and down, as his scores read 0, 52, 0, 78, 10, 26, 10, 56. However, the World No. 1 T20I batter showed why he is rated the best in the world with a 51-ball 102 not out that helped MI comfortably outclass the in-form SunRisers. Suryakumar, who returned to the IPL 2024 season after a long injury layoff, battled tiredness during his whirlwind knock, not throwing in the towel even though he found it hard to run between wickets comfortably. “I felt it was the need of the hour for me,” Suryakumar Yadav said after winning the Player of the Match award. The Mumbai star acknowledged the value and the timing of his second IPL hundred. He proved his naysayers and detractors wrong. He never had to justify his spot in the T20 World Cup squad, but he needed self-assurance that everything was going right. It’s not easy returning from a long injury layoff, which involved surgery in treating sports hernia, and straightaway finding peak form in a tournament like the IPL. And Suryakumar was under pressure straight away as MI’s campaign, under their new captain Hardik Pandya, was floundering. Their captain was booed and the atmosphere in the dug-out looked tense. It was not as if Suryakumar was struggling to put bat to ball, but the seasoned campaigner was not able to live up to his own high standards. IPL 2024 Full Coverage | IPL 2024 Points Table and Standings | 2024 IPL Full Schedule However, on Monday, Suryakumar was a different beast. Building on a fifty he scored against KKR earlier in the month, Suryakumar showcased his ability to soak in pressure and play the situation in his imitable style. Suryakumar and Tilak Varma joined hands when Mumbai were reeling at 31 for 3 while chasing 174. SRH captain Pat Cummins greeted Suryakumar in the middle with a wicket maiden over. Suryakumar was beaten 4 times on the trot by Cummins, who bowled a Test match line on the Wankhede Stadium pitch that was assisting swing and seam bowling under the night sky. “Initially it was really tough. We were struggling and decided to play with the straight bat. Play it like Tests or ODI knowing we have a 360-degree batter,” Tilak Varma said after their unbeaten 143-run partnership — the highest for Mumbai for the 4th wicket of below in the history of IPL. SPECIAL UNDER PRESSURE Suryakumar was willing to see off the new ball. And it didn’t take long for him to launch a counter-attack as he tore into left-arm pacer Marco Jansen in the first over after the powerplay. 22 runs came off the 7th over with Suryakumar doing what Suryakumar does best – flick a fast bowler into the stands behind square on the leg side. Two sixes and two boundaries were hit in the over and the momentum swung in MI’s favour. There was no stopping Suryakumar from there on. He hit 6 sixes and 12 boundaries and reached his second IPL hundred in just 51 balls. He hit a six to get to the landmark and help complete MI’s chase of 174 in just 17.2 overs. The World No. 1 T20I batter well and truly arrived at the IPL party, showcasing how dangerous he can be even against some of the best bowlers. “During the chase, they had to get through those first 4 or 5 overs. But MI lost 3 wickets. But they kept hanging in there. And then this partnership, that was class, batting at its best. Under pressure initially, and then to be aggressive and take on the bowlers is very hard thing to do. And then capitalise and not give it away and get the team home is something special,” former Australian captain Michael Clarke told Star Sports, lauding Suryakumar’s hundred. “He finds the boundaries so easily. I know this ground is quite small, especially on one side. But the way he timed the ball, they were going for sixes in any ground in the world. So, we got another good look at his class. That’s an innings, I am sure he will remember for a long time. But I think we should not underestimate that knock. The team has been under pressure, the senior players failed at the top. He grabbed that today and stood up. That’s leadership,” he added. Suryakumar Yadav’s 2nd IPL hundred saw him equal Rohit Sharma’s record for most 3-figure scores for MI by a batter in the IPL. It was also his 6th T20I hundred. The MI star took his tally in the season to 334 runs in just 9 matches. As expected, Suryakumar has been striking at over 170 in the ongoing season. “Suryakumar is a high-quality batter. He knows how to absorb pressure. When he walked in, he absorbed the pressure. He did not do anything silly. He absorbed pressure, especially in the Cummins over. That was one of the best overs of the IPL, a maiden wicket. It was quality bowling, it was almost like we were watching Test bowling. Suryakumar Yadav was also aided by some ordinary bowling,” former fast bowler Varun Aaron said on Monday. Yes, Mumbai’s playoff hopes are all but over. However, the remaining two games of their campaign allow their World Cup-bound stars to find some form. Suryakumaar, who ruled out any injury after his blazing 102, will be hoping to send a couple more warning notices to India’s rivals before he joins the rest of the teammates on their trip to the T20 World Cup in the USA and the Caribbean.

Earlier in SRH innings, MI captain Hardik Pandya (3 for 31) and veteran legspinner Piyush Chawla (3 for 33) led the bowling charts with three wickets each to restrict the visitors, who could reach a competitive total only because of opener Travis Head’s 48 off 30 balls and skipper Pat Cummins’s 17-ball cameo of 35 not out.The commentators were in awe of Surya’s T20 batting skills as he completed his century with a match-winning six off the second ball of the 17th over.

The best past of SKY is that he puts the bowlers under pressure. It’s sheer confidence…He can change a game in a different way. Lucky to have him in our side,” said Hardik after the match. While Mumbai’s playoff hopes are only mathematically alive in the ongoing IPL, Surya’s litmus test will be at the T20 World Cup in the US and West Indies, beginning June 2. If MI don’t reach the playoffs, Surya will have time to rest as well as refocus for the big-ticket T20 tournament, where India will begin their campaign with the group game against Ireland on June 5 in New York, followed by the big match against Pakistan on June 9 at the same venue.Co-hosts USA and Canada are the other two teams in India’s group.

Danijones6 months ago6 months ago03 mins

Mumbai [India], : After playing a match-winning knock against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League 2024 on Monday, Mumbai Indians’ batter Suryakumar Yadav said he has done this after a long time. “Done this after a long time”: MI’s Suryakumar on playing match-winning knock against SRH Suryakumar played an unbeaten 102-run knock from 51 balls at a strike rate of 200. He hammered 12 fours and 6 sixes. His stupendous knock helped MI clinch a seven-wicket win over the Hyderbad-based franchise at the Wankhede Stadium. While speaking after the match, Suryakumar pointed out that he has fielded for 20 overs and batted for 18 overs so there’s no need to worry about his injury. “I have done this after a long time. I fielded for 20 overs and batted for 18 overs, only tired I feel it was the need of the hour for me. I went out to bat, needed someone to bat till the end. When the ball stopped seaming, I played all my shots that I practice in the nets. I feel the intent would have been the same, I would have definitely played in the same pattern,” Suryakumar said. Recapping the match, MI won the toss and elected to field first. SRH lost wickets at regular intervals from the beginning and it was knocks from Travis Head and skipper Pat Cummins that took SRH to 173/8 in their 20 overs. In the run chase, MI lost their top order early and was reeling at 31/3. It was then that Suryakumar and Tilak Varma launched a counter attack which guided MI to a win with 16 balls left. Suryakumar took home the ‘Player of the Match’ honour. MI is at the ninth spot with four wins and eight losses, giving them eight points. SRH is at fourth with six wins, five losses and 12 points.

Yadav unbeaten ton helps Mumbai end losing streak in IPL

Danijones6 months ago6 months ago03 mins

MUMBAI, India — Suryakumar Yadav’s masterful unbeaten century led Mumbai Indians to a seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League on Monday. Yadav unbeaten ton helps Mumbai end losing streak in IPL Yadav’s unbeaten 102 in 51 balls included six sixes and 12 boundaries at Wankhede. He ensured Mumbai cruised to 174-3 with 16 balls to spare in reply to Hyderabad’s 173-8. Mumbai ended a four-match losing streak. Captain Hardik Pandya and leg-spinner Piyush Chawla earlier squeezed Hyderabad to a total that became competitive only by captain Pat Cummins’ late 35 not out off 17 balls. Mumbai rose on the table from last to second to last. Fourth-placed Hyderabad needs at least two wins from its last three home games to seal a playoff spot. Mumbai’s top order struggles continued when it slipped to 31-3 at home after Rohit Sharma top-edged Cummins on 4. Yadav survived early swing produced by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and took aim at the short square boundaries. He shared the match-winning unbeaten 143-run partnership with Tilak Varma, who scored 37 off 32 balls. Yadav shrugged off discomfort in his legs and raised his half-century off 30 balls. Then he cut loose against Cummins, who conceded 18 runs off his last over. Yadav reached his century with a six off T Natarajan over extra cover that also sealed the game. Earlier, Travis Head launched Hyderabad with 48 off 30 and survived being clean-bowled off a no-ball by IPL debutant pacer Anshul Kamboj. But Kamboj, who conceded 32 off his first two overs, recovered well and clean-bowled Mayank Agarwal. Chawla got the big wicket of Head on the backward square leg boundary. Chawla also dismissed Heinrich Klaasen on 2 off a brilliant googly. Pandya ran through the lower order.

Gave 15-20 runs extra but batting was excellent. My bowling – I do the stuff I do. I like bowling good areas and see how it goes. Today it was nipping around and that worked.“The wickets Piyush took are guys who can take the game away. He asked to long from the shorter side but had to adjust. In T20s, more than change-ups consistency is important, which PC was today, and found success with,” Hardik said after the matchHardik termed Suryakumar’s knock unbelievable, stating that he is lucky to have ‘SKY’ in his team.“SKY was unbelievable. More than him getting runs, him putting so much pressure on bowlers that even other batters get loose balls. He breaks you. He’s evolved. Lucky to have him in my team. Hope to have many more such innings,” Hardik concluded.
