Following his side’s win over Gujarat Titans and maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) century, the cricketing fraternity took to social media to laud star Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Suryakumar Yadav for his explosive knock. Rashid Khan’s valiant knock of 79 was insufficient as Mumbai Indians registered a 27-run victory against Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium in Maharashtra’s Mumbai on Friday. Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar lauded Suryakumar for his special knock and also pointed out the shot that stood out for him the most. “@surya_14kumar lit up the evening sky today! He played excellent shots through the innings but the one that stood out for me was the 6 over third man off @MdShami11. The way he opened the face of the bat to create that angle off the blade at the same time is very very tough to do and not many batters in world cricket can play that shot. @mipaltan #MIvGT #IPL2023,” tweeted Sachin.
