India middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav made his debut in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 match against New Zealand. Before this, he played in two T20 World Cups in 2021 and 2022. In last year's T20 World Cup, Yadav was the second-highest run-getter with former India skipper Virat Kohli. Meanwhile, with the injury to Hardik Pandya against Bangladesh, the right-hander got his opportunity to play.
Meanwhile, after having a decent day in the field, the Mumbaikar needed to stamp his authority in what could be one of his last chances in the tournament. The Mumbai Indians player in the IPL came out to bat after the fall of KL Rahul, who barely missed out on keeping the technology out of the game in his lbw dismissal. Meanwhile, after scoring two runs, the former KKR player had a harakiri in the middle.
Apparently, after playing a drive against Trent Boult in the 34th over, he took off for a single. However, it didn't escape Mitchell Santner inside the 30-yard circle. The left-arm spinner managed to get rid of the ball despite being on the ground towards Boult. The latter then passed the White Kookaburra towards his stand-in skipper Tom Latham who did the rest.

Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja have taken control after Suryakumar Yadav's wicket
After the fall of the fifth wicket at 191 runs, the two-time winners were in desperate need of a partnership between the former India skipper and Jadeja, who is out of form with the bat. Meanwhile, both have put together 61 runs and counting and the team needs 22 runs in 27 balls at the time of writing. Kohli is batting on 81, carrying on from his first ODI WC 2023 hundred against Bangladesh. The team is the favorite to win the game from here on.
