Suryakumar Yadav’s poor run with the bat does not seem to fade away as he delivered yet another flop show in IPL 2026.
In the Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians clash, Suryakumar departed for just 15 runs and leaving his side in further trouble. Questions have now been raised on MI’s star batter as the team is already positioned at the last spot on the points table.
Kagiso Rabada cleans up Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar came out to bat at number four when the side was under immense pressure at 25 for 2 inside four overs. After a few boundaries he tried to go big in the sixth over. Facing a back-of-length delivery outside off from Kagiso Rabada he was cleaned up by a searing delivery. The South African pacer was in top form and clocked with a full ball that jagged in sharply off the pitch.
It gave Rabada his third wicket inside the powerplay and left Mumbai Indians reeling early in the innings.

A struggling IPL 2026 for SKY
In 6 matches, he has scored only 121 runs with an average of around 20 and just one half-century. Surya who was known as one of the fieriest T20 batters the game has ever seen is now struggling both at international level and now in the IPL as well.
With the team’s position already under immense scrutiny, the management might be looking to take a bold call on his run.
Fans once again took to social media to brutally slam Surya’s performance after another low score. Many questioned his place in the XI with MI desperate for a turnaround.
Menwhile, MI’s woes with the bat continued further against GT. Debutant Danish Malewar departed for just two runs followed by wicket of centurion of previous clash Quinton de Kock for 13.

Suryakumar Yadav has eaten more chewing gum than the runs he scored this season, and he is the first player in this world to do so 🙂↕️.
Many, many congratulations 🎉 to our T20 WC-winning captain for this unbelievable achievement. 🥳#GTvsMI pic.twitter.com/PTtp5fgIBZ
