Suryakumar Yadav, who was overlooked during the tour from India to Australia, broke an undefeated half-century to help the Mumbai Indians beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. Suryakumar showed composure and even kept his cool when RCB captain Virat Kohli tried to divert him from his game by sledding the Mumbai Indians batsman. A video of Wednesday’s clash is going viral on social media in which Virat Kohli can be seen walking toward Suryakumar in an attempt to sled him, but the first-order hitter remained calm and walked away.
