IPL: Yadav century ends Mumbai’s losing streak in style
Suryakumar Yadav’s explosive century for Mumbai Indians against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League captured attention. His 102* off 51 balls, comprising 12 fours and 6 sixes, not only sealed a win for his team but also marked his second IPL century. Yadav’s performance tied him with Rohit Sharma as the second MI player to achieve this feat. Additionally, he equaled the T20 century count of KL Rahul and Ruturaj Gaikwad with six centuries. The innings earned praise from cricket personalities like Irfan Pathan and Mohammad Kaif, who lauded Yadav’s skill and character. However, former RCB paceman Wayne Parnell’s comment, suggesting a DNA test to assess Yadav’s T20 prowess, sparked controversy. Alongside Yadav, Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 37 off 32 balls contributed to a remarkable 143-run partnership, securing victory with 22 balls to spare. This innings, showcasing Yadav’s controlled aggression and adaptability, emphasized his potential as a top T20 batsman.
