WATCH: IPL 2021 – Ravi Bishnoi cleans up Suryakumar Yadav for golden duck; Twitterati worried ahead of T20 WC
Suryakumar Yadav
The dry run for Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Suryakumar Yadav continues in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The right-hander got out for a golden duck in match 42 of the tournament against Punjab Kings (PBKS) here in Abu Dhabi.
Chasing a below-par total of 136, SKY came in at number three during the fourth over for the Mumbai-based franchise. However, he couldn’t spend much time at the crease as young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi rattled his stumps with a massive googly. The batter failed to read down a vicious wrong’un and was foxed with the sharpness of the turn as the ball went through the big gap between his pad and bat to hit middle-and-leg.
Bishnoi, who didn’t start in the UAE leg for Punjab, claimed back-to-back wickets for the side to bring them back in the contest. He has now registered two consecutive impressive performances for the Kings as he had snapped a three-wicket haul in Punjab’s defence of 125 in the previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
Here’s the full video of Suryakumar Yadav’s dismissal:
