His batting average stands at 37.56, complemented by an impressive strike rate of 151.14. His scores include two centuries and 29 half-centuries.

Current Season and Recent Performance
This IPL season, Suryakumar Yadav’s performance has been modest. He has tallied 157 runs across seven innings, with an average of 22.42 and a strike rate of 142.72. This includes one half-century.
Earlier this year, he showcased strong form, scoring 84 not out against the USA during the T20 World Cup opener in February. However, his form has since declined. Over the last 15 innings, he has managed only 315 runs with an average of 21, including one half-century.
T20 International Statistics
In 2023, Suryakumar has played 21 T20 internationals, accumulating 641 runs. His average during this period is 35.61, while his strike rate has been a remarkable 156.64, featuring five half-centuries.
If Suryakumar reaches 93 runs in the upcoming match, he will become only the second Mumbai Indians batsman to cross the 4,000-run mark. This milestone not only highlights his skill but also adds to the franchise’s rich history.
