India and Mumbai Indians’ star batter Suryakumar Yadav suffered an ugly eye injury on Tuesday (April 11) during the Mumbai Indians’ vs Delhi Capitals clash in the ongoing 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. SKY looked all set to take a stunner from Axar Patel but he lost sight of the ball, which crashed straight into his eye.
Suryakumar Yadav Suffered A Freak Eye Injury
The replays showed Suryakumar grieving in pain. He was given immediate attention by the physiotherapist, followed by which he immediately left the field to get treatment. There is still no clarity yet on whether SKY will be fit to bat.
The ugly incident took place in the 17th over of the innings when it seemed like Jason Behrendorff had gotten the better of Axar after being hit for a six. The ball was going straight towards Suryakumar’s hands but the star batter somehow missed the sight of the ball, which hit straight into his eyes. The ball eventually was parried over the boundary ropes for a six as Suryakumar Yadav fell clutching his face.
The video of the incident has been going viral on the internet. Watch it here:

Talking about the ongoing DC vs MI game, Axar Patel got a 22-ball fifty as he helped his side make a stellar return and set a big score after Piyush Chawla wreaked havoc. Axar was dismissed after playing 54 runs in just 22 balls.
DC captain David Warner also scored a fifty, however, he was criticized for his slower rate. He scored 51 in 47 balls. Eventually, Delhi posted a target of 172 runs.
For Mumbai, Piyush Chawla was the pick of the bowlers as he finished his four-over spell with 3 wickets while conceding just 22 runs. Jason Behrendorff also took three scalps and conceded 23 runs in his four overs.
