Image Source : BCCI/IPL Suryakumar Yadav hits a century vs SRH. Suryakumar Yadav smashed his second IPL hundred as he led Mumbai Indians to a brilliant win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in match 55 of the Indian Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. Being asked to chase 174, Surya’s unbeaten knock of 102 from 51 balls was instrumental in MI’s win. In the process of this knock, he has also registered a big milestone for the five-time champions. Suryakumar has become the fourth MI player in the history of the tournament to hit a century in a successful run-chase in IPL. He has joined the elite list of players like Sanath Jayasuriya, Lendl Simmons and Cameron Green to make a ton in successful run-chases for MI. Highest scores by MI batters in IPL run-chases: 1 – Sanath Jayasuriya: 114* vs CSK in IPL 2008 2 – Suryakumar Yadav: 102* vs SRH in IPL 2024 3 – Lendl Simmons: 100* vs KXI in IPL 2014 4 – Cameron Green: 100* vs SRH in IPL 2023 5 – Corey Anderson: 95* vs RR in IPL 2014 Suryakumar’s knock was laced with 12 fours and six maximums as he went on a rampage after a slow start to his innings. He found it tough to get going at the start as he was not timing the balls well but then found his mojo with boundaries at will. He unleased his ‘Supla’ shot too and played sweeps against spinner Shahbaz Ahmed during his outing. He partnered Tilak Varma for a huge 143-run stand for the 4th wicket. This is the second highest stand for MI in the history of the tournament behind Dwayne Smith and Sachin Tendulkar’s unbeaten stand of 163*. This is SKY’s second hundred for MI in the IPL history, which brings him level with Rohit Sharma. MI are still alive in the points table and have now lifted themselves up to the ninth spot.

Mumbai came up with an all-round show to hurt Hyderabad’s chances of reaching the IPL 2024 playoffs as the 5-time champions clinched an x-wicket win at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday, May 6. The 5-time champions, who are no longer in the race for the playoffs, played the party popper’s role to perfection. Suryakumar Yadav battled discomfort in his legs to hit a match-winning 102 not out in 51 balls after captain Hardik Pandya and Piyush Chawla shone with the ball to help MI get off the bottom spot in the points table. Chasing 174 on a pitch that was the bowlers’ friend for most of the game, MI were reduced to 31 for 3 after their top-order batters, including Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan, were dismissed for single-digit scores. However, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan stiched 143 runs for the 4th wicket in just 69 deliveries as they helped Mumbai complete the chase in just 17.2 overs. MI vs SRH, IPL 2024 Highlights | Scorecard Suryakumar Yadav was struggling to run between the wickets, but he did not give up and only relied on big-hitting in the latter half of MI’s chase. Suryakumar hit a six to get to his second IPL hundred and take MI past the finish line. Suryakumar hit 6 sixes and 12 boundaries in one of his finest IPL knocks as the World No.1 T20I batter used all his experience to rescue MI and help them clinch 2 rare points in the ongoing season. Tilak Varma played a crucial hand as the young left-hander was solid at the other end. Tilak finished with 37 from 32 balls, but his knock was worth its weight in gold. It was Suryakumar Yadav’s second IPL hundred and his sixth three-figure score in T20 cricket. The India star became only the second batter after Rohit Sharm to hit more than one hundred for MI in the history of the tournament. With the win, MI took their tally to 8 points in 12 matches and pushed Gujarat to the bottom of the points table. On the other hand, SunRisers lost an opportunity to move to the 3rd spot and they are holding on to the 4th spot in the 10-team table with 12 points from 11 games.
