IPL 2018, KXIP vs MI: 5 reasons why Punjab lost

#2 Suryakumar Yadav played a handy knock

It was much essential from Mumbai’s point of view to keep up with the required rate after a much slower start which was then followed by the wicket of Evin Lewis. At such a stage, Suryakumar Yadav once again proved his excellence by carrying his side out of the danger.

He played a smart knock of 57 runs from 42 deliveries to put his side in a comfortable position. The highlight of the innings was some of his trademark shots that he played with utmost ease. The Mumbai-lad didn’t allow the pressure to get better of him as he kept hitting his shots with constantly rotating the strike to keep the scoreboard moving.
