Mumbai | Gujarat Titans assistant coach Ashish Kapoor was left in awe of Suryakumar Yadav’s unbeaten 103 off 49 balls after suffering a 27-run defeat to Mumbai Indians.

On Friday, Suryakumar scored his maiden IPL century, hitting 11 fours and six sixes in his unbeaten 103 off 49 balls. He completed the century off the final ball of the innings by hitting a six to set the base as Mumbai scored 218/5.

In reply, Gujarat were 103/8, after which Rashid Khan’s brilliant 32-ball 79 not out, studded with three fours and ten sixes, took them to 191/8, a margin of defeat of 27 runs. .

“(It) was an absolutely brilliant innings (from Suryakumar). He played smartly, we were expecting Noor (Ahmed) to get him out because of the way he played,” Kapur said at the post-match press conference. Played him – got him out in the last game. He didn’t even take a chance against (Surya) Noor.”

“Until Noor bowled he kept taking one or two runs and Vishnu Vinod really took the pressure off him when he scored quick runs in the middle. But once he got set, you all know What can the sun do?

“When someone is in this kind of form, it is very difficult for the bowlers. Batsmen like this put a lot of pressure on the bowlers, you don’t know how many sixes they are going to hit in every over.”

Gujarat’s next match in IPL 2023 will be against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday at their home ground Narendra Modi Stadium.
