Mumbai Indians star batter Suryakumar Yadav has re-adopted its name in IPL history books so far, this time crossing South African legend AB de Villiers to become the most run-scorer by a non-owner in a single version of the Indian Premier League. The milestone was achieved during the IPL 2025 qualifier 2 conflict between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, where both teams are fighting for a place in the final against Royal Challengers Bangalore. In the match, Suryakumar had already scored 673 runs in 15 innings, which included an average of 67.30 with a strike rate of 67.83, including five half -centuries and a top score of 73*. From the 2016 season, only 15 and runs were sufficient for him to receive AB de Villiers’ 673-Run Tally, which RCB Great had achieved an average of 52.84 and 168.79 with a century in 16 innings and six fifties in six fifties and 168.79.
The set that sets Suryakumar’s run is not just the number, but the way he has scored him and his fearless use of the sweep and reverse sweep against both spin and pace.Quiz: Who is that IPL player?
