IPL 2022: 'No One Finishes A Game Better Than Suryakumar Yadav,' Says MI Head Coach Mahela Jayawardene

Suryakumar Yadav, according to Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene, is one of the few players in the game who can finish games as effectively as he can.

In IPL 2022, Suryakumar Yadav has been on fire. He was out of the MI XI for the first couple of matches due to injury, but after his comeback, the right-hander scored 52, 68*, and 43 in his three appearances.

While none of Suryakumar’s innings were enough to give MI their first win in the Indian Premier League this season, MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene has complete faith in the India batter’s finishing abilities.

Suryakumar, according to the former Sri Lanka captain, is one of the few players in the world who can finish games as well as he can.

“Because we were playing with six hitters today, we wanted to try to take the game to the next level. And there’s no one better than Surya to bring a game to a close “After MI’s sixth loss in a row this season, Jayawardene held a virtual press conference. Punjab Kings defeated them by 12 runs in Pune on Wednesday.

Jofra Archer’s absence is hurting the team: Mahela Jayawardene

Mahela Jayawardene stated that the absence of injured Jofra Archer is affecting the squad since the bowler’s line has been unable to maintain pressure.

“Jof (Jofra Archer) is one of the best bowlers we’ve bought at the auction — Jof isn’t here.” So it’s difficult when you’re in that scenario, but we’re trying to figure out how to deal with it as best we can.

“In terms of the last four or five games, we’ve had some really strong spells where we were in complete control.” But we can’t keep up the pressure because, at times, we go big on two or three overs, which has damaged us.

MI has already lost five games in a row this season, matching their dreadful start from the previous season. They are still at rock bottom and must soon recover if they are to have any hope of entering the playoffs.
