West Indies (WI) all-rounder Kyle Mayers produced a direct hit to dismiss the dangerous Suryakumar Yadav in the second T20I against India at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Sunday, August 6. The right-handed batter departed for just one run off three balls.
The incident took place in the fourth over of India's innings. Ishan Kishan tried to steal a quick single off Obed McCoy at mid-wicket, but Mayers was quick to collect the ball before producing a direct hit at the striker’s end. Yadav put in the dive but was found well short of the crease. As a result, West Indies reduced the visitors to 18/2 after 3.3 overs.

Suryakumar Yadav's struggles continue on the West Indies tour
With the dismissal, Suryakumar Yadav continued his failures on the West Indies tour. The Mumbai batter scored run-a-ball 21 in the first T20I, where the Men in Blue fell short by four runs. He previously managed just 78 runs in three ODIs against the same opponents, with a best score of 35 in the third game. The visitors, though, won the series 2-1.
Meanwhile, India captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to bat in the second T20I against West Indies. They included leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi in place of the injured Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) tweeted:
“UPDATE: Kuldeep Yadav got hit while batting in the nets and was unavailable for selection for the 2nd T20I due to a sore left thumb.”
WI, who are 1-0 ahead in the five-game series, played an unchanged side.
West Indies (Playing XI): Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran (w), Rovman Powell (c), Shimron Hetmyer, Romario Shepherd, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy.
India (Playing XI): Ishan Kishan (w), Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Sanju Samson, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mukesh Kumar, Ravi Bishnoi.
