‘Lit Up The Evening Sky’: Sachin, Kohli Lavish Praise On Suryakumar Yadav For Maiden IPL Ton

Suryakumar Yadav was in blazing form in Match 57 of the IPL 2023 as the Mumbai Indians fixed a 27-run triumph versus the Gujarat Titans at the Wankhede Arena in Mumbai on Friday. GT was limited to 191/8 in 20 overs, chasing 219 runs, despite Rashid Khan’s unbeaten score of 79 runs off 32 balls. Meanwhile, Akash Madhwal took three wickets for MI’s bowling team, while Piyush Chawla and Kumar Kartikeya each took two wickets.

Surya Kumar Yadav’s first maiden 100 in the IPL

At first, MI posted 218/5 of every 20 overs, with the civility of a lady IPL tonne by Suryakumar. With 11 fours and six sixes, the Team India star scored 103 runs in 49 balls at a strike rate of 210.20. Rashid, on the other hand, took four wickets for Gujarat. Additionally, Suryakumar’s knock is currently MI’s third-highest individual score. Rohit Sharma (109*) is in second place, followed by Sanath Jayasuriya (114*). Suryakumar went past Sachin Tendulkar (100*) and Lendl Simmons (100*) to take third position.

Sachin Tendulkar praises Suryakumar’s 100

Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, who led the cricket community in praising Suryakumar, gave him glowing reviews following the match. Sachin posted the following message on Twitter: “@surya_14kumar lit up the evening sky today! He played astounding shots through the innings, yet the one that stood out for me was the 6-over third man off @MdShami11. It is extremely difficult to open the bat’s face to simultaneously create that angle of the blade, and very few batters in world cricket can play that shot.

Virat Kohli reacts to the 100

In the meantime, Kohli praised the batter in an Instagram story. “Tula Maanla Bhau” was his writing. It is a Marathi line, and it signifies ‘caps off to you, sibling’ in English.
