On Monday in the IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets thanks to a masterful bowling performance led by Suryakumar Yadav’s remarkable century. In just 17.2 overs, Suryakumar led his team to a decisive victory with a brilliant innings of 102 not out off 51 balls, his second IPL century. Post 173 for eight, SRH had bounced back. While SRH maintained their fourth-place standings with 12 points from 11 games, Mumbai Indians rose from the bottom of the points table to the ninth slot as a result of the win.When Suryakumar and Tilak Varma (37 not out off 32) joined forces during the powerplay, MI was down at 31 for three. They performed an incredible comeback with a 143-run unbroken stand to secure a convincing win. Thirteen fours and six sixes were part of Suryakumar’s incredible knock.
In fact, had a delivery from experienced seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the fifth over not been put outside the leg stump, pinning Varma in front of the wickets, MI may have been reduced to 31/4.
Naman Dhir (0) suffered a nine-ball duck, and Ishan Kishan (9) fell prey to early death once more.Suryakumar chose Marco Jansen to attack with their backs to the wall, and the man started his career with 22 runs off the seventh over, two sixes and two fours.But just after reaching his fifty off thirty balls, Suryakumar was observed groaning and writhing in agony as he attempted to treat a strain, most likely to his groin, which was one of the reasons he missed almost four months of cricket from late last year.
Pandya returned with a 4-0-31-3 score after finding rhythm and momentum, and Chawla (4-0-33-3) troubled the SRH batsmen with a powerful performance.
To his credit, SRH captain Pat Cummins helped them surpass the 150-run threshold late in the innings with a 17-ball 35 (2x4s, 2×6).
Their typically free-flowing hitters struggled for momentum and lack of initiative meant they could never really trouble the Mumbai spinners, in stark contrast to the last time these teams faced earlier in this IPL, when SRH smashed 277/3.
Captain Pat Cummins produced a fast 17-ball 35 not out, but Travis Head top scored with 48.
