Suryakumar Yadav Breaks Sachin Tendulkar’s Record: A New Era for Mumbai Indians

Let’s be real—whenever someone breaks a record held by the Sachin Tendulkar, it’s a big deal. And when that someone is Suryakumar Yadav, a man known for turning pressure into poetry with the bat, it’s even more special.

The Night It Happened

So picture this: PBKS vs MI, a crucial IPL 2025 match in Jaipur. MI needed a spark, and Suryakumar delivered a masterclass. With his unbeaten fifty, he didn’t just guide Mumbai to a solid total—he quietly surpassed a 15-year-old record set by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in 2010. Sachin had scored 618 runs that season. Surya? He now has 619. Mic drop.

What Makes This Even More Impressive?

Here’s the thing: this isn’t a fluke season. It’s the second time Suryakumar has gone past 600 runs in an IPL season—the first being 2023, when he scored 605. That kind of consistency in T20s is rare. Think of it like scoring straight A’s in a college where even passing is tough.

And get this—he’s also now the holder of another major record: most sixes in a single IPL season for Mumbai Indians, overtaking Sanath Jayasuriya’s 2008 record. That’s 32 sixes in one season. Not bad for a guy who was once seen as “too unconventional” for the big league.

It’s Not Just About Numbers

Honestly, Suryakumar’s rise isn’t just about the records. It’s about hustle. About coming back stronger after being written off. He didn’t enter IPL as a superstar. He became one by sheer will, timing, and those ridiculous scoops over fine leg that make you go “how?!”

He also just broke a global T20 record—14 consecutive innings with 25+ runs, beating even the international benchmark. That’s consistency with flair.

Why It Matters for MI Fans

This might just be the turning point in MI’s campaign. When your middle-order guy becomes the backbone of your team, the confidence shoots up. With Surya in form, that sixth title doesn’t look too far-fetched.
