Suryakumar Yadav drove them to a seven-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2015 tournament opener. Chasing 169 for a win, Gambhir's 43-ball 57 (7x4, 1x6) led the KKR charge, while Suryakumar's unbeaten 46 off 20 deliveries helped them canter to their target in 18.3 overs.
Enter Suryakumar Yadav at No.4. It took just one ball for Yadav to get his eye in; the next was dispatched for a six over the deep square leg with a touch of Viv Richards in it. For Yadav, the target was just another number that he would whiff off with his nimble wrists and effortless stroke play.
Half an hour and five sixes later, he hit a crisp drive to the extra cover boundary to win it for KKR. Yadav is a proud and relieved man as he walks back to the dressing room with nothing but content and smiles to share with his teammates.
Suryakumar Yadav after the game:- Today I was being promoted up the order and given an opportunity to the captain and the support staff. Any player in any team would like to bat at the top of the order in this format. I am grateful to them for that. The team management has given me a lot of confidence over the last year. I have got a great chance here with KKR and I am trying to finish games for the team. I hope I have played my role well in this game and am confident there are many more performances to come to the games to come.
