Suryakumar Yadav's masterful maiden Indian Premier League hundred set up Mumbai Indians’ 27-run win over the high-flying Gujarat Titans on May 12.
Yadav’s unbeaten 103 off 49 balls, featuring 11 fours and six sixes, propelled Mumbai to 218-5, and made the Mumbai Indians the first team to register 200-plus scores five times in one season.
The total held up. Gujarat Titans could reach only 191-8 despite Rashid Khan's unbeaten 79 off 32 balls from 10 sixes and three fours.
Even after its fourth defeat, Gujarat Titans still topped the table and was favourite to qualify for the playoffs with two games in hand. Mumbai rose to third.
“Felt like only Rashid Khan turned up from our team, batted and bowled incredibly well,” Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya said. “Rashid ensured there wasn’t a big dent to our net run-rate.
“People have spoken enough about ‘Sky’ (Suryakumar Yadav), one of the best batters in T20 cricket. Really tough to set fields for him. He kept putting pressure on our bowlers.”
Yadav brought the packed home crowd on its feet at Wankhade Stadium after Ishan Kishan (31) and captain Rohit Sharma (29) provided a rollicking start of 61 in the powerplay.
