Suryakumar Yadav Creates History, Scores Most Runs for MI in an IPL Season
Mumbai Indians’ (MI) batter Suryakumar Yadav has made history by scoring the most number of runs for MI in an IPL season. In a remarkable display of batting prowess, Suryakumar scored 57 runs off 39 deliveries against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Monday, taking his tally of runs in IPL 2025 to an incredible 640.
This achievement is a testament to Suryakumar’s hard work and dedication to the sport. The 32-year-old batter has been in exceptional form throughout the season, and his consistency has been a major factor in MI’s success. With this record-breaking performance, Suryakumar has not only rewritten the history books but has also cemented his position as one of the top batters in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary Indian cricketer, held the previous record for the most runs scored by an MI batsman in a single IPL season. In IPL 2010, Tendulkar scored 618 runs, a feat that seemed almost untouchable until Suryakumar came along. The Mumbai-born batter has now surpassed Tendulkar’s record, ensuring his place in the history books as the highest run-scorer for MI in a single season.
Suryakumar’s remarkable journey to this milestone began early in the season. He started with a bang, scoring 72 off 38 deliveries against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the season opener. From there, he went on to score several half-centuries, including a 65 off 47 deliveries against Delhi Capitals (DC) and a 56 off 36 deliveries against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Throughout the season, Suryakumar has been MI’s most consistent batter, providing the team with a solid foundation at the top of the order. His ability to rotate the strike and play aggressively has been a major asset to MI, allowing the team to build strong partnerships and post competitive totals.
Despite the pressure of playing for the most successful franchise in the IPL, Suryakumar has remained calm and composed, going about his business with a quiet confidence. His dedication to his craft has been evident in his training sessions, where he has worked tirelessly to improve his skills and stay ahead of the competition.
Suryakumar’s record-breaking performance has also drawn praise from his teammates and opponents alike. “Suryakumar has been an absolute revelation this season,” said MI captain Rohit Sharma. “He has been our most consistent batter, and his ability to score runs under pressure has been a major factor in our success.”
Punjab Kings captain Mayank Agarwal echoed Sharma’s sentiments, saying, “Suryakumar is a world-class batter, and it’s been a pleasure to watch him play. He has a unique style of batting, and his ability to rotate the strike is unmatched.”
As Suryakumar continues to break records and rewrite the history books, fans and critics alike are left wondering what the future holds for this talented batter. Will he continue to dominate the IPL, or will he face stiff competition from other talented batters? One thing is certain, however – Suryakumar Yadav has cemented his place as one of the top batters in the IPL, and his name will be remembered for years to come as a record-breaker and a true champion.
