"Jaha bowling friendly pitch aayi smash lo waha Suryakumar Yadav nahi maar payega" - Fans react as MI batter departs for 26 off 22 balls vs CSK

Mumbai Indians (MI) star batter Suryakumar Yadav failed to score big against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday, May 6. The right-handed batter looked good for his 26 runs off 22 deliveries, including three boundaries, but failed to consolidate.

The 32-year-old, however, saved MI from a precarious position with a 55-run partnership with Nehal Wadhera. He was eventually bowled by Ravindra Jadeja in the 11th over, reducing the visitors to 69/4 after 10.3 overs. It was Yadav’s fourth dismissal against Jadeja in the T20 league.

Fans on Twitter looked disappointed with Suryakumar Yadav, and some questioned his credentials as a batter on a bowling-friendly pitch. One user tweeted:

"Jaha bowling friendly pitch aayi,samajh lo waha Suryakumar Yadav nahi maar payega.... (Suryakumar Yadav can't score on bowling-frendly pitches."
Jaha bowling friendly pitch aayi,samajh lo waha #SuryakumarYadav nahi maar payega....

#SuryakumarYadav is a phenomenal talent, but the problem so far is

A) when on song he doesn't finish the matches.

B) not so impactful, yet, in big matches. For ex: Ind vs pak, knockouts, mi vs csk etc
