WATCH: Suryakumar Yadav’s half flick-scoop shot, stunned Ryan Rickelton tells KKR’s Quinton de Kock ‘he’s a joke’

Suryakumar Yadav has not been in the best of nicks heading into the IPL 2025 season.

First of all, it’s all because of the scouts. All MI scouts have gone all the places and picked these young kids.
