Suryakumar Yadav stunned everyone with his 35 ball 83 runs knock against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede Stadium. He treated the RCB bowlers like elementary school bowlers and smashed them for fun. Mumbai Indians registered a solid victory with 21 balls to spare in the game. Since then SKY is getting praised by everyone.
“We know SKY; we know how good SKY is. He rewrites the coaching manuals. When we played, we were taught to play in the V in front. What he has done is throw all that and teach everyone to play in the V behind and he does it with ease. You knew that the RCB attack would come under threat, that’s their weak link. If they didn’t strike early and kept chipping away at the wickets, they would be in trouble,” Ravi Shastri told Star Sports.

“His future is bright as a coach. Only he can teach how to play those shots because there is no other modern-day coach will do that. Surya will say ‘I have been there, done it and this is how you do it,” Shastri further stated.
Suryakumar’s knock made sure that MI jumped from eight to third in the points table below Gujarat Titans (GT) and MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
