4 IPL Batsmen who have been so impressive as opener  

#Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav started his IPL career with Mumbai Indians in 2011 but played only one match for MI during his association with the franchise (2011-13). In 2014 IPL auction, Kolkata Knight Riders bought Suryakumar and he played some memorable innings for KKR as a middle-order batsman between 2014-17.

SKY played at number 4 for the first couple of matches for MI in the IPL 2018 and in the match against Delhi Daredevils, Suryakumar Yadav was asked to open the innings and in the very first match as opener for MI, he blasted 53 runs in 32 balls at a strike rate of 165.63 which unfortunately ended in a losing cause.

In the IPL 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has scored 473 runs in 12 matches at an average of 39.41 and has scored 402 runs in 10 innings as an opener. Suryakumar has fitted pretty well in the opener role and he has been the only consistent performer so far for MI this season.
