LSG vs MI: “Suryakumar Yadav’s Skill Sets Him Apart,” Says Anjum Chopra

Mumbai Indians will take on Lucknow SuperGiants in the elimination of the IPL 2023 on Wednesday. After having a horrific season last time, the team has now managed to reach the top 4. A lot of credit for this goes to the middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav. Last year, Suryakumar Yadav could not be part of the tournament for a long time because of an injury and the team finished at the bottom. However, the difference he makes in the team is clearly visible. Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best T20 players in the world currently.

The player is often compared to AB de Villiers for his unorthodox shot selections and the match finishing ability. Ahead of a very important game, Anjum Chopra analyzed the playing style of Suryakumar Yadav. Speaking about the Mumbai batter, Anjum Chopra mentioned that the player’s ability to execute various shots in different situations makes him stand out.

“His (Suryakumar Yadav) skill that sets him apart from the rest,” says Anjum Chopra

“It is his skill that sets him apart from the rest. The six-over square-leg boundary that he plays isn’t a freak shot because there goes a lot of preparation to master such shots. SKY spends a lot of time in the nets working and excelling at such shots. He makes look that shot ridiculously easier because he’s worked hard on that. He loves playing such shots and it’s just the way a person plays certain shots. It’s an effective style for him and helps that player and the team,” Anjum Chopra said.

As Mumbai Indians take a step closer to lifting their 6th trophy, the contribution of Suryakumar Yadav will make the difference. The batters’ hard work has finally proven to be fruitful as earlier this season, Suryakumar Yadav reached his maiden IPL century. During the initial phase of IPL this year, the magnificent batter struggled to score runs, continuing the purple patch from his international form. Nonetheless, it took him just one innings to turn things around and now after 14 games, he has 511 runs with one century and 4 half-centuries.
