Surya touches sky in Jaipur! Ace MI batter breaks Sachin Tendulkar’s 15-year-old IPL record

Story highlights

Ahead of the game, the right-handed batter needed 36 runs to surpass Sachin’s tally, achieving this feat in the 15th over by pulling seamer Arshdeep Singh for a single.

Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Suryakumar Yadav has broken a 15-year-old long-standing IPL record held by cricket great and former franchise hero Sachin Tendulkar. Against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the side’s last league game in IPL 2025 on Monday (May 26), Suryakumar completed his fifth fifty of the season (57); he also surpassed Sachin’s tally of 618 runs (619* runs) in a single edition, topping the list of MI batters with most runs in an edition.

The batting maestro scored 618 runs in the 2010 edition, a record that remained untouched for over a decade. However, SKY, a Mumbai Indians veteran, broke this record and created a few more during his brief knock. Ahead of the game, the right-handed batter needed 36 runs to surpass Sachin’s tally, achieving this feat in the 15th over by pulling seamer Arshdeep Singh for a single.

Meanwhile, Suryakumar had come close to breaching it earlier, during the 2023 edition, where he ended the season with 605 runs.

SKY also broke a record for the most consecutive 25-plus scores in a single edition. He completed 14 successive 25-plus scores this season, surpassing the joint record held by Shubman Gill and Kane Williamson of 13 such scores each.

Most 25+ scores in an IPL season -
