Hardik Pandya had some big praise for his teammate, Suryakumar Yadav. Yadav played an amazing game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, hitting 102 runs in just 51 balls. This helped Mumbai Indians win only their fourth match of the season. Pandya said Yadav does more than just score runs. He puts so much pressure on the bowlers that they make mistakes, giving opportunities to other batters.
Hardik Pandya was really impressed with Yadav’s confidence and how he’s grown as a player.
After the game, Pandya talked about how important Yadav is to the team and how he hopes Yadav continues to perform like this in the future. Despite Yadav limping during his innings, he assured everyone that he’s fine and ready to play in the T20 World Cup. Yadav mentioned that he hadn’t played for such a long time but felt it was important for him to stay on the field and help the team win.
With this win, Mumbai Indians moved up to the ninth position in the league table. Pandya and his teammate Piyush Chawla played a big role in restricting Sunrisers Hyderabad to 173/8. Pandya spoke about his own bowling performance, mentioning that he just tried to stick to bowling in the right areas and it worked well for him. He also praised Chawla’s consistency and how he adapted to the conditions.
In T20 cricket, Pandya emphasized, consistency matters more than fancy tricks, and both he and Chawla delivered just that. Overall, it was a great team effort that led to Mumbai Indians’ victory, with Yadav’s exceptional innings standing out as the highlight of the match.
