"3 saal see odd year nai aya varna trophy to MI ki hi thi" - Twitter split over Suryakumar Yadav's 61 off 38 in losing cause vs GT in Qualifier 2

Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Suryakumar Yadav failed to put his team over the finishing line against Gujarat Titans (GT) in IPL 2023 Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday, May 26.

The right-handed batter, however, top-scored for Mumbai, scoring 61 runs off 38 balls at a strike rate of 160.53, including two sixes and seven boundaries. This effort fell short in chasing a mammoth target of 234.

The 32-year-old also shared a couple of fifty partnerships with Cameron Green and Tilak Verma after the five-time champions were reduced to 21/2 after 2.2 overs.

Suryakumar Yadav was eventually clean bowled by GT pacer Mohit Sharma in the 15th over, which triggered MI's collapse as they lost the game by 62 runs.

Fans on Twitter came up with mixed reactions to Yadav's knock vs GT. One user tweeted:

"Kuch nai bro 3 saal see odd year nai aya varna trophy to MI ki hi thi. (No problem brother, odd year didn't come since last three years, otherwise it's our trophy to be won."
