Overview
- Suryakumar Yadav drew sharp reviews from Mohammad Kaif and Sanjay Manjrekar on Tuesday, with both urging changes to halt his slide in the Indian Premier League.
- He has 195 runs in 10 matches for Mumbai Indians with one fifty and a strike rate near 146, which reflects intent but not consistency.
- Kaif said bowlers now target predictable lines against him and called for a Plan B built in the nets with new scoring options through cover and toward mid-off.
- Manjrekar linked the decline to fitness at age 35 and said he should follow Virat Kohli’s high-intensity training model to regain sharp footwork and shot execution.
- Mumbai Indians sit in the lower half of the table, and Manjrekar warned that upcoming T20Is could shape the future of India’s T20 World Cup–winning captain in the format.
