MI vs PBKS, IPL 2026: Suryakumar Yadav Reminded By Fans It’s Time For Retirement After Golden Duck At Wankhede
75
Mumbai Indians’ batting stalwart Suryakumar Yadav perished for a golden duck in the IPL 2026 game against the Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium on April 16, Thursday. With the right-handed batter also displaying inconsistency in the preceding T20 World Cup 2026, fans have urged him to draw curtains on his career.
How has Suryakumar Yadav performed for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026?
The right-handed batter started the 19th edition of the tournament with 16 against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) but followed it up with a valiant 51 against the Delhi Capitals. But the next two fixtures against the Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) saw him notch scores of 6 and 33. The Indian T20 captain strode on to the crease in the third over of the innings as Arshdeep Singh dismissed Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar in back-to-back deliveries.
While the veteran batter started the T20 World Cup 2026 campaign started with a crafty 84* against USA but ultimately finished the tournament with 242 runs in nine games at 30.25. Here are some of the netizens on Suryakumar’s golden duck:

Quinton de Kock and Naman Dhir counterattack for the Mumbai Indians
Meanwhile, Quinton de Kock and Naman Dhir are leading the Mumbai Indians’ recovery after Punjab Kings nipped out Suryakumar and Rickelton. At the time of writing this, the hosts were 69/2 in 7.2 overs.
Mumbai Indians are in considerable pressure as they began their campaign with a comprehensive win over the Knight Riders but lost to the Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers and the Rajasthan Royals. By contrast, Punjab Kings are the only unbeaten side so far as IPL 2025 runners-up will look to continue that momentum.
