IPL 2018: Yuvraj Singh Gets Trolled Again for a Run a Ball 14 Against the Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians registered a much-needed victory against the Kings XI Punjab in the 34^th match of Vivo IPL 11 to keep their hopes alive in the tournament. They still to win the remaining 5 games to qualify. They were in a similar sort of a position in 2014 and eventually qualified for the playoffs when all hopes were done and dusted. The three-time champions will like to believe that there is still a chance of a repeat of 2014. The star of the match was Krunal Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav.

Needing a competitive 175 to win on a small ground in Indore, Mumbai got off to a decent start. However, the run rate wasn’t as high as they would have liked. Suryakumar Yadav continued his rich vein of form and scored yet another half-century. He smashed 6 fours and 3 sixes during his knock of 57 of just 42 deliveries. He builds the foundation for a steady chase but was eventually dismissed by Marcus Stonis.

Mumbai needed 42 of the last 19 deliveries. Rohit Sharma struck a couple of sixes of Mujeeb-ur-Rahman to get the equation down to 36 of the last 3. Krunal Pandya played a terrific hand and smashed 20 runs of Marcus Stoinis in the 18^th over. That over totally turned the scales in favour of Mumbai. They required just 16 to win from the last two.

Krunal Pandya finished of the chase in the 19^th over as he smashed 16 runs. Meanwhile, earlier in the day it was a fifty from the blade of Chris Gayle which helped Punjab register 174 on the board. IIt was a very important match for Yuvraj Singh who has been totally out of runs in the tournament so far. That has also resulted in him getting dropped from the team on a couple of occasions.

Yuvraj’s ordinary knock 

Yet again he played quite an ordinary innings before getting dismissed via a run-out. He made a run a ball 14. The stylish southpaw smashed a sensational six of Krunal Pandya in his very first delivery but couldn’t quite carry on from his start. Twitterati yet again trolled him for another below part innings.
