Abu Dhabi, October 29: Suryakumar Yadav is the talk of the town. First, the Mumbai Indians batsman was not selected in any of the India squads to tour Australia. The social media has been abuzz with Suryakumar Yadav posts, supporting him and asking the selectors to take a kinder approach.

On Wednesday (October 28), Suryakumar reminded all once again about his skill and temperament. He made a nerveless unbeaten fifty to marshal Mumbai's successful chase against Royal Challengers Bangalore. But there was an unsavoury moment. Here are details.

There was a moment of altercation when Royal Challengers captain Virat Kohli tried to get under Suryakumar's skin. It happened in the 13th over of the MI innings as Suryakumar was leading the chase with aplomb.

Kohli walked towards him with ball in his hand and tried to talk something with him, a clear indication of trying to unsettle the batsman. But Suryakumar showed immense maturity and just looked back at Kohli and walked away from the eye of confrontation.

Suryakumar later talked about the newfound calmness in his nature. "I have been practicing meditation and that perhaps helped me," he told host broadcaster, not necessarily a mention about him coming face to face with Kohli but more about keeping his composure during a tight chase.

Mumbai skipper Kieron Pollard too had backed Suryakumar and said he would have been disappointed not to get selected for the Indian team. Pollard, who is leading Mumbai Indians in the absence of injured Rohit Sharma, said: "Deep down, he would have been disappointed about not getting selected to India as he would have dreamt about wearing the blue jersey of his country. But what he can do is to score runs and keep his patience. Rewards will come."
