Mumbai Indians’ star batsman Suryakumar Yadav failed to bring the best out of himself in the run-chase against Lucknow Super Giants at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
The flamboyant batsman who used to display a barrage of shots across the park was nowhere to be seen on a wicket that proved to be much favourable for the bowlers.
The right-handed batter took some time to get settled at the crease and before he could access the conditions, he ended up throwing his wicket away. Yash Thakur made a complete mess of the batsman’s stumps.

The 31-year-old misjudged the line and then paid the price. He scored seven runs off nine balls at a strike rate of 77.78 and had a bad day at the office against Lucknow Super Giants.
Suryakumar Yadav tried to play a fancy shot off Yash Thakur. As it turned out, the bowler quickly sensed that the batsman was moving towards the left side to play a fancy shot. As a result, he decided to target the stumps and reaped rewards.
Earlier, Lucknow Super Giants batted first and posted a competitive total of 177/3 in their allotted quota of 20 overs. Marcus Stoinis top-scored with 89 off 47 balls including 4 fours and 8 sixes to his credit.

This is what happens when surya plays on pitch that has help for bowlers. You can play all those fancy shots in flat pitch but traditional cricket is equally imp part of game
