Mumbai Indians: Suryakumar Yadav is an important player for Mumbai Indians. He has performed brilliantly for Mumbai Indians over the past few years. But currently, his form is not that good. Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed as a golden duck on the first ball in all three matches of the one-day series between India and Australia at home. Even in IPL, this bad form did not leave Surya. Now South African legend AB de Villiers has given a tip to Surya to get out of bad form.
Mumbai played their first match of this IPL season against Royal Challengers Bangalore. In this, Suryakumar Yadav could only score 15 runs. Former Royal Challengers Bangalore player and Hall of Fame inductee AB de Villiers advised Suryakumar Yadav not to change his game plan.
De Villiers said that he (Surya) is probably now at a stage where he has to do something. But the secret is not to panic and not to change the game plan. He said that he has to stick to his game which he has been doing for years.
He further said, 'Yes, he may try to remember it. What are his fundamentals, and what does he do when he runs. Keeping things like this in mind can take his game to another level. You cannot score 100 runs in 40 balls in every match, it will not happen.'
He further said, 'I learned this from Chinnaswamy's audience. Because they expected me to score a century in every match. Sometimes I had to tell myself. You know AB de Villiers. You have to be honest with yourself. You are not reading the ball correctly. That's why you go on the field and take one run, give Virat a strike, and let someone else score. And then gradually I got into better shape. And then my real game came out.' Thus AB de Villiers... suggests that Suryakumar Yadav should return to his form. Let's see what miracle Surya will show in the next match.
The world's number one batsman in T20s.. What happened to Suryakumar Yadav, the star batsman of Team India who used to hit opponents with sixes when he stepped into the ring. Is he useless for other formats except for T20? Can Surya play ODIs? So the answer is yes. In ODIs, opinions of former cricketers, and criticism of fans, are more than a concern of team management
Looking at Surya's statistics, this does not seem to be true. In T20s, if the ball falls, Surya plays it at a 360-degree angle. But in ODIs, he struggles to stand at least at the crease. Fans who are tired of his performances are saying that he is not 'Surya' Kumar.. 'Shunya' Kumar.
