[Watch] Kyle Mayers runs out Suryakumar Yadav with direct hit in IND vs WI 2nd T20I 

West Indies (WI) all-rounder Kyle Mayers produced a direct hit to dismiss the dangerous Suryakumar Yadav in the second T20I against India at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Sunday, August 6. The right-handed batter departed for just one run off three balls.

The incident took place in the fourth over of India's innings. Ishan Kishan tried to steal a quick single off Obed McCoy at mid-wicket, but Mayers was quick to collect the ball before producing a direct hit at the striker’s end. Yadav put in the dive but was found well short of the crease. As a result, West Indies reduced the visitors to 18/2 after 3.3 overs.

Mayers ran out Sanju Samson in a similar fashion in the last T20I.


Suryakumar Yadav's struggles continue on the West Indies tour

With the dismissal, Suryakumar Yadav continued his failures on the West Indies tour. The Mumbai batter scored run-a-ball 21 in the first T20I, where the Men in Blue fell short by four runs. He previously managed just 78 runs in three ODIs against the same opponents, with a best score of 35 in the third game. The visitors, though, won the series 2-1.

Meanwhile, India captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to bat in the second T20I against West Indies. They included leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi in place of the injured Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) tweeted:

“UPDATE: Kuldeep Yadav got hit while batting in the nets and was unavailable for selection for the 2nd T20I due to a sore left thumb.”
