Probable Best Batter

Suryakumar Yadav: He could be the best batter in Game 33 of the ongoing IPL 2024. He played a magnificent knock against RCB earlier but was not able to open his account in the subsequent match against CSK. This became one of the reasons for MI’s loss to CSK in the last game. Sky would be eager to showcase his prowess in the upcoming game.
