There is no such thing as a missed opportunity if you can salvage the situation and achieve a remarkable outcome. Suryakumar Yadav exemplified this against Afghanistan in Barbados, where his sweep produced a six after he missed a similar shot on the previous ball, leading to some friendly banter.

The decision to bat first did not bode well for the Men in Blue as Rohit was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the third over. Rishabh Pant soon followed suit and fell to Rashid Khan, bringing Suryakumar Yadav into the crease. Despite the early setbacks, Yadav and Virat Kohli managed to take the Indian score to 60/2 in eight overs. At half time the score was 79/3. However, the 11th over brought a moment of levity between Suryakumar Yadav and Rashid Khan.

On the second ball of the 11th over, Rashid bowled a precise leg break to Yadav. Attempting a sweep, Yadav missed and the ball popped up and hit him on the body before falling near the stumps. Yadav then boldly kicked the ball away from the stumps.

On the next delivery, Rashid delivered an overthrow on the off-stump. Mumbai Indians were better at moving around the crease and had another go. This time his timing was impeccable and he launched the ball 82 yards over deep square for a six.

After the over, there was some friendly banter between Yadav and Rashid. Yadav was seen discussing Rashid’s bowling and how he exploited the sweep shot, much to the delight of fans on Twitter.
