The speed of captain Hardik Pandya and the skill of seasoned leggie Piyush Chawla stopped an incredible Sunrisers Hyderabad batting lineup. The Mumbai Indians then achieved a remarkable victory in the Indian Premier League 2024 because to Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma’s brilliant performance with the willow.
Mumbai Indians exceeded the mark of 174 with 16 balls remaining because to Suryakumar’s 51-ball century and his unbroken third-wicket partnership of 143 off just 79 balls with Tilak, the third-highest partnership of the season.
But the Mumbai Indians were in trouble when Tilak took guard in the fifth over. After being reduced to 31 for three by the Sunrisers pace battery, Mumbai Indians faced the risk of the bowlers’ excellent effort being wasted once more due to another subpar performance by their top order.
The anger was too much for Ishan Kishan (who was squared up by Marco Jansen to be caught in slips), Rohit Sharma (who mishandled a draw off Cummins), and Naman Dhir (who sliced Bhuvneshwar to point). Suryakumar faced difficulties as well, as he was unable to hit any of Cummins’ first three shots that spun away from his blade.
Suryakumar Again Blast with Century
However, Suryakumar turned things around in the seventh over when he faced Marco Jansen. With his signature behind-the-wicket variations, Suryakumar twice put Jansen over the fine-leg boundary in what ended up being a 22-run over. Tilak then proceeded to play a flawless violin as Suryakumar tormented the Sunrisers attack.
In the 17th over, he even pulled MI within three runs of victory and put himself on the verge of a century by scoring three straight pull shots to square the score with Cummins. With the first ball he faced, he reached both milestones in the following over when he lofted S. Natarajan over long-off for a six.
If Chawla and Hardik hadn’t partnered with the ball, MI would have been pursuing a more difficult goal. The pair turned SRH from 90 for two to 96 for five by taking three vital wickets for only six runs in 11 balls—of Travis Head, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Heirich Klaasen. The pair took three more wickets each in the 16th and 17th overs to put MI ahead before Cummins’s cameo enabled SRH to surpass 170 runs.
