Mumbai Indians‘ superstar batter Suryakumar Yadav produced a magnificent knock against Gujarat Titans on Friday night, registering his maiden century in the Indian Premier League. This was also one of the best knocks of his career so far.
Suryakumar Yadav Played An Incredible Knock
Surya stole the show with his incredible hitting as he steered the MI to a mammoth score of 218/5. The side eventually won the game by 27 runs, defeating the table-toppers.
Suryakumar displayed a range of shots as he smashed the Titans’ bowlers all around the ground. He came out to bat in the 7th over and played a stunning knock of 103* runs off 49 balls, which was laced with 11 boundaries and six maximums. The Wankhede was roaring for him with every shot that he smashed.
Meanwhile, he has been receiving praise from all corners for his stellar knock. From cricketers and experts to fans, everyone is left in awe of his brilliance with the bat.
Harbhajan Singh Made A Massive Statement
Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer, Harbhajan Singh, who had begun his IPL career with the Paltan in 2008, also made a massive remark on the star batter. Speaking on his Youtube channel, Harbhajan heaped praise on Surya and he bowed down to him for single-handedly steering MI’s campaign this season. He said:
“I can only bow down to him. Keep going. He’s almost single-handedly steering MI’s campaign. It’s not as if others aren’t performing, but Suryakumar is operating at a different level. He’s unbelievable and unstoppable. I’ve lost out of words to praise him. Salute to him,”
Further, Harbhajan also went on to claim that Suryakumar is currently the “biggest” name in the Paltan. He also made a massive comparison between Suryakumar and Indian great Sachin Tendulkar. He said:
“I hope he remains fit and keep winning matches for MI. Because the chant of ‘Surya, Surya’ reverberates the whole ground the moment he comes to bat. Earlier, it used to be ‘Sachin, Sachin’, and then ‘Malinga, Malinga’. Now, it’s Suryakumar Yadav. There’s no bigger name than Suryakumar in Mumbai Indians right now. He’s winning everyone’s hearts with his performances,”
However, his statement didn’t go down well with the fans of Mumbai Indians, who reminded him of the captain Rohit Sharma’s contribution to the team.
