"A century of sixes for SKY" - How many sixes has Suryakumar Yadav scored in the IPL? image

In recent times, Mumbai Indians star Suryakumar Yadav has been one of the biggest revelations in T20 Cricket. The Mumbai-born cricketer has seen his fortunes turn over three years. He is arguably the best T20 batsman in the world and is proving his worth with every passing game. 

Surya played a match-winning innings against RCB at the Wankhede on Tuesday in IPL 2023. Chasing 200, MI started on the front foot. Ishan Kishan’s fiery knock of 42 off 21 deliveries was ideal for the run-chase. 

After a setback in the powerplay, Nehal and Surya steadied the ship of the hosts. Suryakumar was the star of the show scoring 83 runs off 35 deliveries before getting out to Vyshak in the sixteenth over.

Mumbai Indians won the game in the seventeenth over. They move onto twelve points and are now placed third on the points table. Their opponents Royal Challengers Bangalore are positioned seventh, with eleven points in ten matches.
