WATCH: Flying Aiden Markram takes stunning catch to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav in SRH vs MI
Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians (MI) took on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 25th match of the sixteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). SRH captain Aiden Markram won the toss and opted to bowl first. The decision seemed to backfire a little as MI’s opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan put on a quick partnership (41 off 28). However, SRH soon got their first breakthrough as T Natarajan got Sharma caught out.
But MI continued to score runs freely as Cameron Green and Kishan rotated the strike with ease. The pair added good 46 runs for the second wicket before Marco Jansen struck to send back Kishan. With this wicket, Suryakumar Yadav came out to bat. The MI batter looked to dominate SRH bowlers from the ball go and was successful to an extent as SKY hit Jansen for a six.
However, the SRH pacer made a befitting comeback as he dismissed Yadav on the very next delivery. But more than Jansen, it was Aiden Markram’s wicket considering his acrobatic effort to pouch the ball. As Yadav chipped the ball in the air towards mid-off, Markram dived full-length to his left and plucked the ball out of thin air. Interestingly, it was Markram who took the catch of Kishan in the outfield.

Surya’s torrid run continues!
With this dismissal, Surya’s torrid run in IPL 2023 continued. Barring one inning, against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) where Surya scored a 25-ball 43*, the MI batter has failed to create an impact. Surya has scored 66 runs in five innings so far.
In case you missed!
