Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene believes that Suryakumar Yadav, despite his recent struggles, is in a good mental space and is not far from a breakthrough in the Indian Premier League. Suryakumar, known for his aggressive batting style in T20 cricket, has only managed to score 183 runs in nine matches this season, averaging just 20.33.
Jayawardene expressed confidence in Suryakumar’s abilities, stating that a few good scores could help him find his rhythm. Despite falling for a low score of 21 in the recent match against Chennai Super Kings, Jayawardene praised Suryakumar’s approach and aggression at the crease.
Suryakumar’s poor form has coincided with Mumbai Indians’ disappointing season, with the team facing the possibility of an early exit from the tournament. Led by Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have suffered seven defeats in nine matches, making their chances of reaching the playoffs slim.
However, Jayawardene remains optimistic about the team’s chances and believes that there is still a lot of cricket to be played. He emphasized the importance of finishing the tournament positively and fighting until the end.
With five more games left in the season, Mumbai Indians will need to bounce back quickly to keep their playoff hopes alive. Jayawardene and the team are determined to turn their fortunes around and give their best in the remaining matches.
