Mumbai Indians: Suryakumar Yadav is an important player for Mumbai Indians. He has given strong performances for Mumbai Indians for the last several years, but his form is not good. In all three matches of the home ODI series between India and Australia, Surya was dismissed on the first ball of the golden duck. The such bad form did not leave Surya's side even in IPL. Now South African legend AB de Villiers has given a guru mantra to Surya to come out of bad form.
In this season of IPL, Mumbai played their first match against RCB, in which Surya was able to score only 15 runs. Former RCB player and Hall of Famer has advised Surya not to change his game plan. Talking to News18, De Villiers said that he (Surya) has probably now come to that phase where he needs to do something. But its secret is that you do not have to be afraid and do not change your game plan. He has to stick to his game, which he has been doing for years.
De Villiers gave advice to Surya
He further said that, yes, he can try to remember that, what are my basics, and what I used to do when I was scoring runs and because of this he could take his game to a different level. Be able to take AB de Villiers further said that Surya should forget what people are expecting from him. He said that taking yourself down a level and spending some time there is not a bad thing. You cannot score 100 runs in 40 balls in every match, it is not going to happen.
De Villiers said I learned this thing the hard way with Chinnaswamy's crowd because they expected me to score a century in every match. Sometimes I had to tell myself that, you know AB, you need to be honest with yourself, you are not reading the ball properly. That's why you go on the field, just take one run, strike Virat and let someone else score. And then slowly I will get a good shot and then I will be back in my game. In this way, de Villiers has advised India's 360-degree player to come back to his form. Now it has to be seen what wonder Surya can show in the next match.
