IPL 2023: When he reached his first IPL century against the Gujarat Titans on May 12 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Suryakumar Yadav displayed yet another batting masterclass in IPL 2023. With the aid of 11 fours and six sixes, the Mumbai batsman performed a brilliant performance of 103 off 49 balls, which helped MI record a huge score of 218/5 in the first innings.
Rashid Khan, a wrist spinner, had a fantastic spell of 4/30 and took important wickets for his team throughout the innings when most bowlers were on the receiving end of the devastation by “SKY.” Rashid stated the MI batsman was fantastic and that it was challenging to bowl to him in response to his brilliant batting performance.
The sky was amazing. He is difficult to bowl to, and some of his shots were incredible. During the inning break, Rashid addressed the broadcasters and said, “That’s how he plays in this style, and that’s what he’s renowned for.
Suryakumar looked flawless at the bat and continued where he had left off in the previous game against Royal Challengers Bangalore by hitting three boundaries against Rashid throughout his innings. In the seventh over of the innings, the 32-year-old came to the crease and joined Vishnu Vinod (30 off 20) for a 65-run partnership off 42 deliveries.
SKY scored his second fifty after 18 balls.
In the 17th over, the daring batsman needed just 31 balls to hit his half-century before switching up his approach in the last over. He smashed Mohit Sharma for 20 runs to get into the seventies when he was on 53* (34) at the start of the 18th over. In the 19th over against Mohammed Shami, he added another 14 runs, and on the penultimate ball of the innings, he hit a maximum to reach his maiden IPL century.
He has 479 runs to his name from 12 innings after his hit, moving him up to third on the list of the season’s top run scorers.
