Suryakumar Yadav hit an unbeaten 68 but his Mumbai Indians team suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in this season’s IPL as they lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday. Flamboyant Suryakumar took Mumbai to 151-6 from 79-6, but the total was hardly tested by Faf du Plessis’s Bangalore, who chased down their target in Pune with nine balls and seven wickets to spare. Upcoming Indian talent Anuj Rawat hit 66 runs and shared an 80-run partnership with Virat Kohli (48) to guide the team, in their quest for their maiden Indian Premier League title, to their third win in four matches. .
Five-time champions Mumbai so far remain winners with Chennai Super Kings, who suffered their fourth loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the opening match of the day in Mumbai.
Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma said, “Definitely not a 150-run pitch, Suriya showed us that if you bat sensibly you can do it. Credit to Surya, but we knew it wasn’t enough.” Will happen.”
“We want the batsmen to bat deep. And if you get runs on the board, the bowlers have to do something.”
Mumbai started off strongly with an opening stand of 50 between Rohit and Ishan Kishan – both scored 26 runs – before pacer Harshal Patel and Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga batted.
But Suryakumar, who hit five fours and six sixes in his 37-ball knock, continued the struggle till the end by scoring 50 runs in the 19th over of Mohammad Siraj’s 23.
Harshal finished with figures of 2-23 and Hasaranga, with his leg spin, took two wickets, including Kieron Pollard, for naught.
In reply, Bangalore lost du Plessis for 16, but left-hander Rawat attacked the opposition as he smashed sixes off 47 balls before being run out.

Kohli fell two short of his half-centuries after being dismissed lbw by South African leg-spinner Dewald Brevis, but was unhappy with his dismissal after the umpire’s review was turned down.
