Suryakumar Yadav has played three matches so far in Tata IPL 2022 and has scored 163 runs with a strike rate of 158.25 and an average of 81.50. In the recent match against Punjab Kings, Yadav played a crucial knock to keep MI in the game. He cemented his place for the Indian team in the middle order after his impressive knocks for Mumbai Indians.
Here are his stats against pacers in IPL:
Till IPL 2019: avg 26.44; SR 138.37
Since IPL 2020: avg 33.35; SR 157.50
This significant change has transformed his fortunes. Made him indispensable and has handed him an India cap.
2021 wasn’t overall the best season for Yadav, as he just scored 317 runs in 14 matches, which is quite unlikely for a consistent player like Yadav. However, here’s his record from 2018-to 2020.
IPL 2020:
Matches: 16
Runs: 480
Average: 40
Strike Rate: 145.01
IPL 2019:
Matches: 16
Runs: 424
Average: 32.61
Strike Rate: 130.86
IPL 2018:
Matches: 14
Runs: 512
Average: 36.57
Strike Rate: 133.33
Being consistent and making 300+ runs in every season with a strike rate of 130+ is what makes him a player a team can trust in an adverse situation.
