MI vs SRH IPL 2026: ‘Blind Slogger Suryakumar Yadav!’ Fans Slam T20 Captain As Poor Form Continues

Suryakumar Yadav continued to struggle in the ongoing IPL 2026 as the Indian T20 captain continued to struggle to find form in yet another game for the Mumbai Indians. The India T20I skipper, known for his explosive strokeplay, has found it difficult to replicate his usual dominance this season. Across eight matches, Suryakumar has managed just 162 runs at an average of 20.25, a sharp drop from his exceptional 2025 campaign, where he averaged over 65.

In the ongoing clash against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, he added only 5 runs before falling, extending a worrying trend of inconsistent performances. His recent run includes two ducks and no score above 40 in his last five innings, highlighting a prolonged slump. Analysts have pointed out that opposition teams have started to read his game better, often setting fields to counter his preferred leg-side scoring areas.

Interestingly, even with the dip in this form, Suryakumar remains a key figure for the franchise. He is closing in on a major milestone and is just nine runs away from surpassing Kieron Pollard to become the Mumbai Indians' second-highest run-scorer of all time.

With the tournament entering a crucial phase, Mumbai will be hoping their star batter rediscovers his touch soon.
