After his blistering knock, Bhogle took to X and heaped praise on Yadav.
The Indian commentator tweeted, “We were missing Suryakumar Yadav and his wonderful audacious, inventive strokeplay. What a difference he makes to this #MumbaiIndians team”. After Bhogle’s tweet, former Indian cricketer Laxman Sivaramakrishnan mocked him and questioned his ‘WE’ in the tweet. Sivaramakrishnan tweeted, “By saying WE, are you a part of MI ????” The 58-year-old who is quite popular with his social media game once again garnered attention for his blunt remark.
When Suryakumar Yadav performs, no one can defeat his team: Harbhajan Singh
Suryakumar Yadav, who was out of action due to injury, announced his arrival in the tournament with a powerful knock. After his performance against RCB, Singh said, “When Suryakumar Yadav performs, no one can defeat his team. He is an unbelievable player. He can win games in any situation. I saw AB de Villiers, and he was terrific with the bat, but I feel Suryakumar Yadav is a better version of him. He has won more games for his franchise than anyone playing now in the format.”
He added, “If I were part of any franchise, he would be my first pick, if he would come to the auction. But it’s not going to happen.” He added, “I have not seen a more dominant batter than Suryakumar Yadav in my life. What does a bowler do in front of him? I am lucky that I am not playing ticket.”
