Suryakumar Yadav's struggles continued as he registered a golden duck against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Raipur during IPL 2026. This marked his second first-ball dismissal of the season, leaving him with just 195 runs across 11 innings and an average of 17.73. Despite being backed by the Mumbai Indians management, Yadav's performance has been disappointing, especially after he entered the season as the reigning IPL Most Valuable Player following a stellar 2025. The Mumbai Indians, who faced a thrilling last-ball defeat against RCB, have now been eliminated from playoff contention, further compounding Yadav's woes. His absence from the squad for family reasons did not yield the desired results, and he struggled to regain form even while captaining the team in Hardik Pandya's absence. The loss to RCB not only impacted MI's standings but also saw Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who dismissed Yadav, play a crucial role in RCB's victory.
