This is not the first time Suryakumar Yadav has impressed with his performance. He has consistently performed well since becoming a part of Mumbai Indians. He scored 512 runs in the year 2018 and 424 runs in the season in 2019. Suryakumar Yadav has also been praised by Gautam Gambhir, Ian Bishop and Tom Moody.
Harbhajan said, ‘It is not easy to stop them. They have all the shots. He kicks, sweeps over the covers. Play both spin and fast bowling very well. He is an Indian AB de Villiers.
He said, ‘I definitely would have selected him for the Indian team. It did not happen but he will be part of the team soon. With his batting, he has caught everyone’s attention.
