After a great run in the last two IPL seasons with 400 plus runs in each, Surya's performance this year has been disappointing. He has scored 235 runs in 13 matches at an average of 18.07.
With Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore already in the playoffs, there is a tight tussle between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders for the 4th spot. For Mumbai to qualify, the best-case scenario is Kolkata Knight Riders losing their last game of the group stage, and MI winning theirs.
KKR are scheduled to play Rajasthan Royals tonight, October 7, and MI will face SRH on October 8. Both fixtures will start at 7:30 pm on the respective days.
