MI star Suryakumar Yadav breaks Sachin Tendulkar’s 15-year record enroute sensational IPL season

IPL 2025: In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Suryakumar Yadav scored 600 runs in a season for the second time in his career. The previous season, 2023, saw the Mumbai Indians advance to Qualifier 2 of the playoffs. Two years later, when MI made it to the knockout stages once more, Suryakumar was among the top scorers with a season that defined his career and saw him overtake the great Sachin Tendulkar.

The India T20I captain accomplished the feat at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur during Mumbai's last league match against the Punjab Kings. On his way to his sixth half-century of the season, Suryakumar set a new record for the most runs scored by a Mumbai Indians batsman. He became the highest individual run scorer in a single IPL season, shattering Sachin's 15-year mark. In the 2010 season, the former MI captain scored 618 runs, including five fifties.
