Mumbai Indians batsman Suryakumar Yadav roared back to form as he scored an unbeaten 79 off 47 balls to fire MI to an imposing 193 for four against Rajasthan Royals in Abu Dhabi. Yadav showcased his ability to play proper cricketing shots all around the park in his 79-run knock
Yadav, who came in to bat at No. 3 in the 5th over after the dismissal of Quinton de Kock (23), anchored the inning for Mumbai Indians when Royals spinner Shreyas Gopal struck on successive deliveries to remove Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan (0).
