After the end of T20I series against England, India captain Suryakumar Yadav is back in the domestic circuit. The T20I maverick is going through a lean patch with the bat and his performance against England was underwhelming. He scored just 28 runs across five innings and his form has become a point of concern for the team, although the top order is firing in the shortest format of the game.

It is worth noting that, he was part of Indian team in World Cup 2023 and did not come up with a memorable innings. He was sidelined from Champions Trophy 2025 prospects and the batter had recently opened up on his desire to don whites for the nation. Coming to his innings against Haryana, he was cleaned by an in-swinging delivery by Sumit Kumar and departed, scoring just nine runs.

Watch his wicket here

On Day 1 of the third quarter-final between Mumbai and Haryana, the former won the toss and opted to bat first. After losing the first six batters for nominal scores, Shams Mulani provided respite by scoring a resilient 91 runs off 178 balls. Bowling all-rounder, Tanush Kotian came to the rescue as tail lenders tried their best to keep Mumbai in the hunt.

Kotian remains unbeaten on 85 runs off 154 balls and has already smashed 11 boundaries. At the end of Day 1, Mumbai are 278 having lost eight wickets.

For Haryana, Anshul Kamboj dazzled with three wickets as Sumit contributed with two scalps as well. Anuj Thakral, Ajit Chahal and Jayant Yadav snared one wicket each. Kotian will resume Mumbai’s batting on Day 2 with Mohit Avasthi as his partner, and look to continue his rosy run with the bat to bag a ton under his belt.
