MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings is all set to lock horns with Mumbai Indians on 8th April (*Saturday) at Wankhede Stadium. Ahead of the match, Suryakumar Yadav‘s form has become one of the most discussed topics on social media. He was seen struggling against RCB when he scored 15 runs in 16 balls. Now all eyes will be on Surya as both the IPL giants will lock horns with each other.
The clash between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings is one of the most-awaited clashes every season. Besides Surya, captain Rohit Sharma would be tested after a terrible outing against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Cameron Green too failed to perform with the bat against the quality bowlers.
Kieron Pollard Opens Up About Suryakumar Yadav’s Form
Meanwhile, ahead of the much-awaited clash, Kieron Pollard spoke about Suryakumar Yadav in an interaction with the media. Pollard made it clear that the management has got no doubts about the ability of SKY. He said:
“We have no concerns on Suryakumar Yadav’s form, again. I believe you guys make more of it than we do sometimes within the team setup. People have bad days and that is unfortunate as cricketers our bad days are highlighted and we keep speaking on and on about it rather than looking at the positive or what he has done over the past 18 months or so in cricket as an individual.”
He added: “We do it on a day-by-day basis and the way Suryakumar Yadav is striking the ball, the way he is training we have got confidence that he will do justice to his talent and we will continue to back him. To be honest, I have not thought much about the impact player rule. I lot of thoughts have been flying around about it but for me you still have to go out and play cricket, impact or no impact”
Furthermore, Pollard expressed his disappointment with the MI batters’ performance against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Pollard pointed out that batters need to bat aggressively. He said:
“I believe all batters have to fire. I do not think we should not single out any individual. Cricket is being played with eleven players, and again the tournament has just started so everyone is just looking to start on a high. Yes, we did not get off to a great start as a batting unit but in the end we managed a decent total in Bangalore,”
