Suryakumar Yadav becomes eighth MI player to reach 100 game landmark

Lucknow: After leading Mumbai Indians in their opening fixture in IPL 2025 in the absence of Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav completed another special landmark in the match against Lucknow Super Giants on Friday.

Suryakumar became just the eighth player to play 100 IPL games for Mumbai Indians. The other players to achieve the feat are Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Ambati Rayudu.

To mark the occasion, Suryakumar was presented with a special customized jersey before the match.

A two-time winner of the IPL with Mumbai Indians in 2019 and 2020, Suryakumar is one one of only three batters to score 3000 runs for Mumbai Indians in the IPL.

His average of 35.53 and strike rate of 148.91 are both the second best among MI’s top 10 run getters in the history of the tournament. He was one of the players retained by the franchises ahead of the mega auction for the 2022 and 2025 seasons. IANS
