"Presenting Shunya Kumar Yadav y'all" - Fans roast Suryakumar Yadav after his golden duck against DC in IPL 2023

Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Suryakumar Yadav's horror run of form with the bat continued as he got out for a golden duck against Delhi Capitals on Tuesday in IPL 2023.

In a chase of 173, Mumbai were 139/2 when Suryakumar Yadav came out to bat. MI were in a decent position despite Tilak Varma's dismissal, and Suryakumar promptly hit one of his signature shots towards the leg side while trying for a boundary. Unfortunately for him, however, the ball landed safely in the hands of the fine-leg fielder, ending the innings prematurely.

The flamboyant batter is in the midst of a lean patch; his scores in his last six innings read - 0(1), 0(1), 0(1), 15(16), 1(2), and 0(1). Fans took note of Suryakumar Yadav's latest failure and flocked to Twitter to express their views.

Here are some of the reactions to the matter:

Tim David and Cameron Green take MI over the line against DC after Suryakumar Yadav's batting failure

Rohit Sharma also departed in the 17th over, after Suryakumar Yadav's golden duck in the previous over. The quick wickets seemingly put DC in control of the game.

Tim David (13 off 11 balls) and Cameron Green then hit two sixes off the 19th over against Mustafizur Rehman to bring the equation down for their side. With five runs needed from the final six balls, Anrich Nortje bowled a phenomenal over. He nailed the yorkers at more than 142 KMPH consistently, and MI needed two runs from the last ball.

Tim David then smartly nudged the ball and ran hard to pick up a brace and seal the game.

DC captain David Warner reflected on the close defeat after the match, saying:

"If you look at the last three days, the IPL has been sensational. On the wrong end but we can't fault our bowlers, they were excellent today. Rohit was fantastic at the top of the order and we did well to pull things back. He's (Nortje) world-class. That's what we expect from the big fella. Bowling at 150 clicks, alongside Mustafiz at the other end, they did a great job."

MI will next face KKR on April 16.
