IPL 2023: Suryakumar Yadav misses catch, gets hit on the face as ball crosses ropes for a six

Mumbai Indians’ (MI) Suryakumar Yadav hasn’t the best of times, neither with the bat nor on the field. The veteran has struggled to find his feet in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He has struggled to score runs and has made mistakes as a fielder as well.

In the penultimate ball of the 15th over, Surykakumar misjudged the ball, which went for a six. Axar Patel, who looked in ominous touch, got a lifeline. A couple of overs later, Axar got another reprieve. Even this time around, it was Suryakumar on the firing line.Suryakumar got himself in a better position, but again dropped a catch. This time around, he parried the ball over the ropes for a six. Adding insult to injury, the ball hit him on his face. Thereafter, he needed medical attention as the physio came rushing on to the field.
