Even though Suryakumar Yadav faced defeat, he achieved an extraordinary milestone in his T20 career that is now incredibly difficult to break.
In Qualifier 2 of IPL 2025, the Mumbai Indians (MI) suffered a five-wicket loss to Punjab Kings (PBKS). Despite this, Suryakumar Yadav made history. He scored 44 runs off 26 balls in the match before being dismissed by Chahal. Although he fell short of a half-century, Suryakumar has now amassed 717 runs this IPL season.
With this achievement, Suryakumar Yadav has set a remarkable record in T20 cricket. He has become the highest run-scorer in a single T20 tournament as a non-opener, breaking AB de Villiers’ record. AB had scored 687 runs as a non-opener in IPL 2016.
Suryakumar’s stellar performance continues to highlight his consistency and impact on the game, making him a player to watch in every format of the sport.
