Mumbai Indians batsman Suryakumar Yadav was hailed by Virender Sehwag for his excellent performance with the bat against Royal Challengers Bangalore. The former India opener also broke silence on the much-talked-about stare exchange between the MI attacking right-handed batsman and therefore the RCB skipper, Virat Kohli.
Yadav was complimented by Sehwag on maintaining dignity and composure opposite the Indian captain at the crease during the match on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi.
Sehwag heaped praises for the 30-year-old top-order renegade. The innings by Yadav was simply outstanding and hence the match was a phenomenon as well he said. Yadav showed Virat Kohli that he doesn’t fear anyone and isn’t inferior to anyone. This was in the context of the India selection snub for the tour Down Under faced by Yadav.
For the unknown, during the blistering battle between Kieron Pollard-led side and Virat Kohli co., there came the instant at the13th over.
Kohli took up the show and did walk towards Yadav while trying to shine the ball but Yadav was calm as you like as he remained silent and gave a devils stare to the RCB skipper and then walked past him.
During the virtual discussion, the veteran Indian swashbuckler is hopeful that it won’t be too late before Yadav’s efforts bear fruit. Several players within the past from the domestic circuit didn’t get the chance to represent India despite great level performances. However, KKR star bowler Varun Chakravarthy possesses a maiden call to be within the India team after picking 5 wickets this season during a single game. This says Sehwag, Maybe a fine example of the role of IPL. On the other hand he belives that this stage of IPL is enough to give him a chance in the future to play for India.
With the foremost memorable innings, Yadav (79 off 43) took his side home to victory. The win has resulted in Mumbai Indians becoming the primary team within the ongoing tournament to directly make it to the playoffs.
