Suryakumar played a fantastic innings of 79 against Royal Challengers Bangalore and remained unbeaten at the end as MI easily chased down the target of 165 with five wickets in hand and five balls to spare.
Kieron Pollard credited him for being a consistent performer for MI and is hopeful that he will soon get that all-elusive India call-up. Speaking after MI’s win over RCB, he said:

We just can’t depend on Jasprit Bumrah every time: Kieron Pollard
Batting first, RCB had gotten off to a great start and were well on their way to post a score in excess of 180. At the end of 15 overs, they were 129/2 with Devdutt Padikkal well past his fifty and AB de Villiers looking to up the ante.
However, Kieron Pollard introduced himself in the attack and picked up the big wicket of De Villiers. This completely changed the momentum of the game in favour of MI, and RCB could only post 164 in the end.
Pollard believes that MI can’t always depend on Jasprit Bumrah for breakthroughs as it is a team game and was, therefore, happy that he stepped up when the team needed him to. He said:
MI will next face the Delhi Capitals on 31st October at Dubai and will be looking to seal a top-two finish.
