Suryakumar Yadav heaped praise on Suryakumar Yadav after the MI batter scored a spectacular hundred against SRH in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match on Monday, May 6 at the Wankhede Stadium. Suryakumar was struggling with his fitness and was unable to run, but he kept playing his shots to stay unbeaten on 102 off 51 balls with 12 fours and 6 sixes. On the back of his knock, MI chased down a stiff target of 174 with 16 balls to spare and beat the Sunrisers by 7 wickets. He was also involved in a partnership of 143 runs with Tilak Varma after MI lost 3 quick wickets in the powerplay. “SKY was unbelievable. More than him getting runs, him putting so much pressure on bowlers that even other batters get loose balls. He breaks you. He’s evolved. Lucky to have him in my team. Hope to have many more such innings,” Hardik said in the post-match presentation ceremony.

Gave 15-20 runs extra but batting was excellent,” Hardik said. Hardik was also happy after he bowled well against the Orange Army. He got the wickets of Nitish Kumar Reddy, Marco Jansen and Shahbaz Ahmed, and finished with impressive figures of 4-0-31-3. “My bowling – I do the stuff I do. I like bowling good areas and see how it goes. Today it was nipping around and that worked,” Hardik added. MI will look to carry the confidence when they face Shreyas Iyer’s KKR on Saturday, May 11 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Published By: sabyasachi chowdhury Published On: May 7, 2024 Tune In

MI vs SRH, IPL 2024 Highlights: Ton-up Suryakumar Yadav powers Mumbai Indians to seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Suryakumar Yadav‘s exceptional century, combined with disciplined bowling, propelled Mumbai Indians to a seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL on Monday.Suryakumar’s explosive innings of 102 not out from 51 balls marked his second IPL century, helping his team secure an emphatic win in just 17.2 overs. SRH had earlier recovered to post 173 for eight.The win moved Mumbai Indians up from the bottom of the points table to ninth place, while SRH, despite the loss, stayed in fourth place with 12 points from 11 games. Joining forces inside the powerplay with MI left reeling at 31 for three, the pair of Suryakumar and Tilak Varma (37 not out off 32) did a superb recovery job with 143-run unbeaten stand to script a comprehensive victory. Suryakumar’s sensational knock included 12 fours and half a dozen sixes.For that matter, MI could have been reduced to 31/4 had a Bhuvneshwar Kumar delivery in the fifth over not pitched outside the leg stump with the veteran seamer pinning Varma in front of the wickets.Ishan Kishan (9) perished early once again while Naman Dhir (0) endured a nine-ball duck. With their backs against the wall, Suryakumar picked Marco Jansen to attack as he collected 22 runs off the seventh over with two sixes and two fours to begin his job. But shortly after he completed his fifty off 30 balls, Suryakumar was seen stretching and wincing in pain while looking to manage a strain, presumably to his groin — one of the reasons why he missed cricket for nearly four months from late last year.However, to his credit, the world No 1 T20 batter hung around till the end to take MI over the line as he finished the game with a flurry of boundaries — two sixes and as many fours off his last four balls. Apart from Suryakumar’s struggles while batting, the decline in Rohit Sharma‘s form also came to the fore with the India captain mistiming one to be dismissed for a mere four — his fourth score in single digits this IPL in last five outings.Earlier in the first half, Pandya struck form before the T20 World Cup while veteran Chawla also bagged three wickets as Mumbai Indians restricted Sunrisers Hyderabad for a below-par total.Pandya found rhythm and momentum to return 4-0-31-3 while Chawla (4-0-33-3) produced an impactful performance to trouble the SRH batters. However, to his credit, SRH skipper Pat Cummins chipped in with a 17-ball 35 (2x4s, 2x6s) late in the innings to take them past the 150-run mark.In complete contrast to last time these teams met earlier in this IPL when SRH hammered 277/3, their usually free-flowing batters struggled for momentum and lack of initiative meant they could never really trouble the Mumbai bowlers.Travis Head top scored with 48 while skipper Pat Cummins made a quick 17-ball 35 not out.(With inputs from PTI)

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.

Hardik Pandya blames top-order collapse for defeat against Lucknow Super Giants | Cricket News

Danijones6 months ago03 mins

NEW DELHI: As Mumbai Indians succumbed to their seventh defeat of the season, this time against Lucknow Super Giants, skipper Hardik Pandya said loss of early wickets led to their down fall at the Ekana. After being put in to bat by KL Rahul, MI found themselves tottering at 28 for four after powerplay with pacers Mohsin Khan, Marcus Stoinis and Naveen-ul-Haq doing the early damage. Rohit Sharma (4), Suryakumar Yadav (10), Tilak Varma (7) and Hardik (0) all fell cheaply as Ishan Kishan (32) and Nehal Wadhera (46) and Tim David (35) somehow took them to a par total.Hardik said loss of wickets in a cluster in powerplay hurt them badly and they were never able to fully recover from that. “Definitely, losing early wickets in the powerplay is tough to recover from. Where we needed the most, we could not do well,” Hardik said in the post-match presentation. On being asked if high scores this season have put more pressure on the batters early, Hardik said, “Not really, you still have to see the ball and hit. The wicket was good. The ball was there to be hit and we just missed, that sort of season for us so far. I have always believed that whenever you take to the field, sometimes you will be down, sometimes you will be up, and you have to fight. It looks difficult but there are a lot of things you can learn from this game.”Amid MI’s freefall against LSG, Wadhera stood out, notching up a solid 41-ball 46 and Hardik was quick in praising the responsible effort from the youngster. “He has been fantastic, the way he batted against Rajasthan and tonight. He did fantastic last year as well. It was because of the team combination that he could not play early. Looking at his talent, he will play for a lot of years for Mumbai and for India eventually,” Hardik added. With 7 losses in 10 matches, MI are at the ninth spot. A victory on the other hand, lifted Lucknow to third spot.
