Suryakumar Yadav Advised to Vary Shot Selection Amid IPL 2026 Struggles
Suryakumar Yadav, captain of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026, has struggled with his batting, scoring 157 runs in seven innings with a strike rate of 142.73. His recent 36 off 30 balls against Chennai Super Kings coincided with Mumbai's heavy defeat. Former cricketer Wasim Jaffer advised Yadav to avoid predictability in shot selection and develop alternative strategies, as opposing teams have been setting fields to counter his strengths, limiting his usual behind-the-wicket shots.
