Another flop! Suryakumar Yadav’s woes with bat continues in Ranji Trophy quarterfinal

Suryakumar Yadav’s lean form continues as he perished for a single-digit score in Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy quarterfinal. India’s T20I captain was added to the squad for the clash against Haryana along with Shivam Dube. In the 5-match T20I series against England, SKY only managed to score only 28 runs in five innings.

Surya was dismissed for only nine runs on Saturday as he was clean bowled by SP Kumar. The Mumbai batter recently hit a new low after registering an average of just 5.60 in the recently concluded IND vs ENG T20I series. His last first-class appearance for Mumbai came in October 2024.

“Aa jayenge form mein… Time lagega thoda (Will return to form… Will take just a bit of time),” he had said after Mumbai’s training session on Friday as per Telegraph India.

Meanwhile, Mumbai suffered a batting collapse on Saturday as Haryana bowlers ran amok in the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal. Ayush Mhatre was the first batter to depart as he was sent packing for a golden duck. Akash Anand and Lad soon followed, leaving the side in a perilous position. Surya’s dismissal meant MUM were reduced to 25/4 within the first ten overs. All eyes will now be on Shivam Dube, Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur to rescue the side.

Mumbai’s clash against Haryana was initially scheduled to be held in Lahli. But it was moved in the last-minute to Kolkata, with the BCCI citing “unavoidable circumstances”.
