The Tuesday IPL match featured one of Suryakumar’s most damaging innings. For his 35-ball 83, Suryakumar smacked six sixes and seven boundaries. To completely destroy RCB, MI chased down 200 in just 16-point three overs.
Faf du Plessis, the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore, was standing on the field and watching helplessly as Suryakumar Yadav effortlessly destroyed his bowlers.
On Tuesday, May 9, in the high-profile IPL 2023 game at the Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai Indians made light of a 200-run chase thanks to a special knock of 83 off 35 balls.
Royal Challengers Bangalore would have thought they had a good chance of earning 2 points after posting 199 on the board. Ishan Kishan, on the other hand, came out swinging and scored 42 off just 21 balls.

Wanindu Hasaranga provided RCB with much-needed breakthroughs during the powerplay by dismissing both Ishan and captain Rohit Sharma in the fifth over.
Faf du Plessis attempted to apply pressure after MI reached 52 for 2. But Suryakumar Yadav and the young Nehal Wadhera had other ideas as they pounded the RCB bowling attack.
The young Wadhera had smashed his first fifty of the IPL against Chennai Super Kings earlier this month. And was the one who led the way by casually hitting the big ones. As soon as Suryakumar arrived, he played one of his most destructive knocks, turning the party into a bloodbath.
Faf du Plessis’ 35-ball 83 not out was made possible by Suryakumar’s erratic fielding. Which gave him nothing to work with as he smashed six sixes and seven boundaries.
The Mumbai Indians batsman, who overcame a sluggish start to the season, was at his most ruthless as he destroyed the RCB lineup. With 21 balls remaining, the Mumbai Indians were able to defeat the total thanks to a 140-run partnership between Suryakumar and Wadhera.
“He’s one of the best, isn’t he? It’s really hard to bowl against him when he gets going. With so many options, he turns a captain into a very grey character. You believe that you are powerless to stop him. Because of this, he is among the best in the modern era”, according to Faf du Plessis.
The ranking of MI increased by 5 spots. RCB dropped to No. 3 following the significant victory in Mumbai. 7 following two losses in a row. On May 14, the previous champions will take on Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur.
