Match number 54, between the two giants, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI), at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Raipur. Suryakumar Yadav’s poor form continued during the match and he was out for a golden duck in the match. There will be huge pressure on him due to his current form.
This was the first game played at this venue as RCB were scheduled to play two games at this stadium in the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Suryakumar Yadav, who led the way in the last game after Hardik Pandya missed the match due to injury, was also not included in this game.
Suryakumar Yadav’s bad form continues
Suryakumar Yadav came back for another golden duck. This was his second appearance in the tournament. Team India captain is struggling with form after T20 World Cup 2026. He has scored 195 runs at an average of 17.73 this season, with just one half-century in 11 matches in the IPL, so there is huge pressure to retain his place.

Suryakumar Yadav was picked by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who has been performing brilliantly this season for the defending champions. He has demolished MI’s top order by taking the wickets of Ryan Rickelton, Rohit Sharma and Skye. He was on a hat-trick after the wicket of Mumbai’s acting captain. RCB has the upper hand over Mumbai in the match.
No, we are quite confident – Sky during the toss
During the toss, Sky said, “No, we are quite confident. I think we are happy to bat first. Big ground, black clay wicket, I think runs on the board, it is always good pressure for the other team. (Any changes) Not really, we are going with the same team.”
Suryakumar Yadav further said, “(MI have not won two in a row. Would it be important to do that?) I think it’s all history now, what has happened before. We are really looking forward to this game, the big game, Super Sunday. Trying to do our best and give good entertainment to Raipur.”
“(Discussing his bowling) I think we’ve always had good conversations about it. I think this tournament, this IPL, has been a bit tough and has been a bit harsh on the bowlers. But that’s the beauty of T20 cricket. The way you come back, I think it shows a lot of character. So we keep trying to improve and get better every day.”

SKY fans will swear he is the greatest T20 player of this generation, but as soon as the ball swings half a millimeter in the powerplay, he immediately packs his bags.
0(1) in important matches while Rohit is fighting alone. The gap between PR vs reality is huge.💀📉#RCBvMI #mi #Sun

The biggest reason for MI’s downfall is the captain who has lost his confidence..After Hardik, he handed it over to Sky who has been a disaster so far.
At least Surya can neither lead MI nor the team.

🚨🚨 Now the time has come that Suryakumar Yadav should be dismissed from the Indian T20 captaincy.
He has been a liability for both MI and Team India for the last two years. Sarpanch should give captaincy to Shreyas Iyer, because he is a better middle order batsman than Surya. #RCBvsMI pic.twitter.com/pO020gxQaY
