Suryakumar Yadav Nears Milestone, Set to Surpass Pollard in MI Runs

Mumbai Indians’ batsman Suryakumar Yadav is on the brink of a notable achievement. He needs just nine runs to surpass Kieron Pollard as the franchise’s second-highest run-scorer. This significant event may unfold during the upcoming match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium.

Suryakumar Yadav’s Current Achievements

Suryakumar currently occupies the third spot on the Mumbai Indians’ all-time run-scorers list. He has accumulated a total of 3,907 runs in 121 matches and 119 innings. 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.

  • Matches Played: 211
  • Innings: 193
  • Batting Average: 28.78
  • Strike Rate: 147.01
  • Half-Centuries: 18

Rohit Sharma: The Top Scorer

Rohit Sharma leads the all-time list for Mumbai Indians, with an impressive total of 6,289 runs. His statistics include:

  • Matches: 240
  • Innings: 236
  • Batting Average: 29.93
  • Strike Rate: 132.72
  • Centuries: 2

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.
