MI beat SRH by seven wickets to seal their fourth consecutive win of the season. Shetty was seen in the stands a couple of times.
“She has flown down from Mumbai, so what more do I need?” Suryakumar said after the match.
“She was here, so we had to win. I think it was really important to come out positive as we were playing good cricket and had to continue the momentum, winning four games on the trot is a great feeling,”
Rohit Sharma scoring runs is a really great sign for the team- Suryakumar Yadav.
Suryakumar Yadav was clear with his thoughts when talking about Mumbai’s fourth win on a trot on Wednesday.
“I think it was really important to come out positive as we were playing good cricket and had to continue the momentum, winning four games on the trot is a great feeling,” he added.
Suryakumar Yadav also credited Rohit for making his job a lot easier when he came out to bat as the duo shared a 53-run stand in 5.2 overs for the third wicket. MI’s score was 77-2 in 9.2 overs when Suryakumar Yadav & Rohit Sharma were at the crease and needed another 67 runs to win the match
“He made my job really easier, I just had to bat with good tempo, and him scoring runs is a really great sign for the team…” Suryakumar said, before adding about his favorite sweep shot.
“You keep practising these sweeps in the nets, I want to continue that in the game, and I’m really happy with it. It’s less risk, high reward.”
This was Suryakumar Yadav’s second unbeaten knock in a win after his brilliant 68 against Chennai Super Kings. Mumbai Indians have bounced back after a rusty start and moved to the third spot on the points table with five wins in nine matches.
