Mumbai Indians star batter Suryakumar Yadav missed his signature ‘Supla Shot’ and got castled during the Indian Premier League clash on Tuesday against Lucknow Super Giants. It was the crucial wicket for both LSG and Yash Thakur at the big stage. Suryakumar, who has been incredible form in the second half of IPL 2023, failed to get going and was dismissed for 7 as Mumbai Indians lost the match by 5 runs. The visitors failed to chase the 178-run target at Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
It was the first ball of the 15th over and Suryakumar shuffled a bit to play the ‘Supla Shot’ but he mistimed it completely and ended up dragging the ball to the wickets. Young Yash was all pumped up after dismissing the batting maverick and his animated reaction after taking the wicket went viral. During the celebration, even his chain popped out of his neck.
