"SKY puts bowlers under pressure": MI skipper Hardik Pandya
Following a thrilling seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya praised Suryakumar Yadav for his pivotal role in the match.
Suryakumar’s explosive century was a game-changer, coming at a critical time when MI was down three wickets in their chase of 174 runs. His remarkable 143-run partnership for the fourth wicket not only steered MI to victory but also marked their fourth win of the season.
In the post-match presentation, Hardik expressed his admiration for Suryakumar’s approach, saying, “It is unbelievable, the best part of Suryakumar is that he puts the bowlers under pressure. It is sheer confidence, his game has changed, is one of the best batters. He can change a game in a different way, lucky to have him (SKY) in our side.”
Hardik also discussed the team’s overall performance and his personal contributions with the ball. “We want to focus on playing good cricket, still think we gave 10-15 runs extra. The way our batters batted, that was excellent. My bowling, I like to bowl in the right areas, I bowl according to the situation. Bowled in the right areas today and it worked.”
Regarding Piyush Chawla’s effective bowling, which yielded three crucial wickets, Hardik noted, “I was like Piyush Chawla had to bowl from the shorter side. He (Chawla) had to be accurate, the margin of errors have become smaller these days for the bowlers.”
