Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Suryakumar Yadav was at the receiving end of some serious criticism from Twitterverse after his flop show in the second half of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) in UAE continued. Suryakumar has only one half-century in the IPL 2021 thus far and fell for 8 runs against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their recent match.
Mumbai Indians who were at the fifth spot in the IPL 2021 points table, faced off against the third spot holders Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Dubai on September 26, 2021, in the second match of the double-header day on Sunday.

Suryakumar Yadav And Mumbai Indians Crumble Before The RCB Bowling Might
The match against the Virat Kohli-led RCB was kind of a must-win encounter for the two-time defending champions Mumbai Indians who had 4 wins from 9 matches in the IPL 2021 thus far. Captain Rohit Sharma got lucky and won the toss, choosing to bowl first.
Virat Kohli made 51 after Devdutt Padikkal got out for a duck, and became the first Indian and fifth overall batter to make 10,000 runs in T20 cricket. Glenn Maxwell also hit a sublime 56 in 37 balls with Srikar Bharat making 32 with 2 fours and 2 sixes as Royal Challengers Bangalore posted a competitive 165/6 in 20 overs.

Rohit Sharma and co. started off well with the captain scoring 43 runs and fellow opener Quinton de Kock making 24 runs and the duo added 57 runs in 6.4 overs. However, their middle order’s poor run continued against the RCB, as Ishan Kishan made 9, Suryakumar Yadav made 8, Krunal Pandya made 5, Kieron Pollard got out for 7 and Hardik Pandya made 3 runs in his first outing for MI in UAE.
Then Harshal Patel came to the party and picked a hat-trick, removing Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, and Rahul Chahar, becoming the third bowler from the Royal Challengers Bangalore camp to take an IPL hat-trick after Praveen Kumar and Samuel Badree. He had earlier during the India leg of the tournament, had become the first bowler in IPL history to take a five-wicket haul against Mumbai Indians.

However, the Twitterverse was enraged at how the middle order played and especially the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan, both of whom have been chosen in the Indian T20 World Cup 2021 squad.
Here are some of the tweets:

BCCI need to rethink again
Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Rahul Chahar don’t deserve to be in T20WC
Can’t risk Worldcup!#MIvsRCB

I feel suryakumar Yadav did not play with his heart !! His unnecessary attitude really cost him & his team !! Such type of things are not acceptable
& I’m really worried about T20 WC ! #RCBvMI— Debojit Nath (@Deb22dn) September 26, 2021
Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan having horrible time in UAE in #IPL2021, one of the bigger reasons why #MI has been behind.

Looks like Suryakumar Yadav’s Honeymoon Period is Over. Back to Reality. One Season Wonder.
More than Mumbai Indians. I am worried about Indian Cricket Team for T20.

#suryakumaryadav and #Ishankishan‘ s Form in ipl is to rethink for @BCCI ahead of World T20 championship.Bad form of this 2 middle order batsman still continues .They clearly need to analyse itt before it’s too late

Suryakumar yadav rahul chahar ishan kishan are in the world cup squad and haven’t done anything exceptional in d second phase. On the contrary shikhar dhawan and yuzi deserve to b there https://t.co/0yPyGHrWct

Very Disappointing season for Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan . Let’s hope both perform well in upcoming matches.
I think
shreyas iyer is better option as compare to sky and still iyer is not selected in 15 members squad for upcoming #T20WorldCup #RCBvMI #MIvsRCB #IPL2021
— simran (@CSKian_007) September 26, 2021
Something off with Suryakumar Yadav’s form. We have a big challenge ahead us and we can’t risk it on him. I think now it will be a good call to slot Shreyas Iyer in the squad for Ishan Kishan. He has been playing some good cricket and is in sublime form. #RCBvMI
— Shivani Shukla (@iShivani_Shukla) September 26, 2021
At any day Shreyas Iyer is far better than Suryakumar Yadav.
Iyer should be seen as next Indian Captain. #MIvsRCB | #RCBvMI | #IPL2021— Paritosh Kumar (@Paritosh_K2016) September 26, 2021

If Suryakumar Yadav fails to carry Mumbai Indians to victory in 3 rd consecutive match, then he might end up losing spot in Indian playing XI in upcoming T20 WorldCup. Not to forget, Virat Kohli still doesn’t like the idea of him playing for India. #MIvRCB #RCBvMI #IPL2021
