Key Points

1

Eighth player to reach 100 matches for Mumbai Indians

2

Two-time IPL winner with impressive batting average

3

Only Indian after Sachin to score 500+ runs in multiple IPL seasons

Suryakumar became just the eighth player to play 100 IPL games for the Mumbai Indians. The other players to achieve the feat are Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Ambati Rayudu.

To mark the occasion, Suryakumar was presented with a special customized jersey before the match. A two-time winner of the IPL with Mumbai Indians in 2019 and 2020, Suryakumar is one of only three batters to score 3000 runs for Mumbai Indians in the IPL.

His average of 35.53 and strike rate of 148.91 are both the second-best among MI's top 10 run-getters. He was one of the players retained by the franchises ahead of the mega-auction for the 2022 and 2025 seasons.

Suryakumar's two hundreds are the joint-most for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, alongwith Rohit Sharma. He has been the mainstay of the team's batting lineup in various roles of opener, no.3 and no. 4 over the years.

He's also the only batter to register 25 scores of 50+ for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, apart from Rohit.

Since returning to the team in 2018, Suryakumar has been the leading run-getter.

His tally of 116 sixes for Mumbai Indians is only bettered by Rohit and Kieron Pollard.

He's also the only Indian, apart from Sachin Tendulkar, to score 500+ runs in multiple editions of the IPL for Mumbai Indians, having scored 605 in 2023 and 512 in 2018.

While his stats are impressive, I do feel he's been inconsistent in recent seasons. Needs to convert those starts into bigger scores more often. Still, 100 matches is a great milestone!

The fact that he's only behind Rohit and Pollard in sixes says everything about his batting approach. Pure entertainment whenever he's at the crease!

Remember his 2018 comeback season? That was when he really announced himself. 500+ runs then and now 100 matches later, he's still going strong. True MI legend in the making.
