Suryakumar Yadav, the ‘hero’ of Mumbai’s victory, told the game plan after becoming ‘player of the match’

MI vs GT, IPL 2023, Mumbai Indians, Suryakumar Yadav: The 57th match of IPL 2023 was played on Friday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In this match played between Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans, Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bowl first. Batting first, Mumbai scored 218 runs losing 5 wickets in 20 overs. In response, the Gujarat team could only score 191 runs after losing 8 wickets in 20 overs. Mumbai won the match by 27 runs. This is Mumbai’s 7th win this season. With 14 points, the team has reached the third position in the points table.

The hero of Mumbai’s victory was Suryakumar Yadav. He played an unbeaten inning of 103 runs off 49 balls. In this innings, he hit 11 fours and 6 sixes. This is the first century of Surya’s IPL career. He was chosen player of the match. After the match, Sky said, it can be said that it was one of my best T20 innings. Whenever I score runs, I feel that the team should win. The most important thing is that we batted first today and said that when you are chasing 200-220, we will stick to the same pace.

There was a lot of dew on the ground and I knew which shots to play, I was not thinking of hitting straight. I had two shots in mind – one over fine leg and one over third man. There is a lot of practice before the game, so when it comes to the game, I am very clear and express myself.

While Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma said, it was an interesting game, especially from our point of view, happy to get two points. We wanted to have a right-left combination but Sky came and said no, he wanted to go in. This is the kind of confidence he has and it rubs off on others. He wants to start afresh every game and does not look back at the previous game. Sometimes you can sit back and feel proud but that is not the case with him.
