After a poor start to IPL 2023, India’s ‘Mr 360’ Suryakumar Yadav has found the rhythm. In the match against Gujarat Titans on Friday night, Surya scored an unbeaten inning of 103 runs, scoring the first century of his IPL career. During this, he hit 11 fours and 6 sky-high sixes. SKY played such a shot during this inning that the ‘God of Cricket’ Sachin Tendulkar and the fans were stunned.
Yes, Sachin was seen repeating this shot of Suryakumar Yadav in the dugout during the match. The broadcaster also showed this incredible shot on repeat several times. At the same time, their reaction to Sachin Tendulkar is going viral on social media.
Suryakumar Yadav played this shot in the 19th over of Mumbai Indians’ innings. On the second ball of Mohammed Shami, he hit a six over the third man. This shot is not as easy as it looks. The way SKY tried to make a shot on the wicket-to-wicket bowling by making room, the best shot in that position was the cover drive. Surya also swung his bat towards the covers but finally opened the mouth of his bat, due to which the ball went straight across the boundary at the third man.
Sachin Tendulkar enjoys this shot with veteran spinner Piyush Chawla from the Mumbai Indians dugout. During this, he was seen telling Piyush how Surya played this shot. This reaction of the ‘God of Cricket’ is becoming very viral.
