Nothing much is going right for Suryakumar Yadav at the moment. The batsman is struggling to get going with the bat for quite some time now. And as if those failures with the bat were not enough, he also dropped a big catch in the ongoing IPL 2023 match against Mumbai Indians.
Not only that, but he also coped with a painful blow to the face after missing the catch. The incident took place on the fourth ball of the 17th over when Jason Behrendorff was bowling to Axar Patel. It was a length ball on the middle stump and Axar hit the shot towards long-on.

It was a mistimed short and the ball was on its way to Suryakumar Yadav at long-on. Suryakumar Yadav tried to take it over his head but made a mess of it. He just could not catch the ball and it went on to slip out of his palms before going on to hit him above his right eye.
