Suryakumar Yadav scores his first IPL century
SKY’s knock against Gujarat was 103* runs in 49 balls. It included 11 boundaries and 6 sixes. There were a few wickets falling and despite facing the best spin attack of the tournament, SKY made it look easy. He was at his comfortable best as he scored runs all around the park. The bowlers did not have answers as the best T20 batter in the world scored his first IPL hundred, a knock that was due for a long time.
Meanwhile, with this knock, Surya has taken MI one step closer to the playoffs. The team won an important game against RCB in the last encounter and having set a score of above 200 against GT in the ongoing game, they will fancy their chances now. It is now important for MI to improve their NRR. If they can get a big win, it would make their job easy in the last few games of the competition. Therefore, this knock can be considered even more special.
Twitter reacts to the terrific knock
Gujarat Titans has a solid bowling attack and not many teams have been able to break it. Suryakumar Yadav and Mumbai Indians were successful in this regard. It was mainly the SKY show that lit up on Friday and this knock will go down as one of the best in the history of the tournament. Here is how Twitter reacted to it:
When God of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar applauds you, when opposition captain Hardik Pandya happily congratulates you, when opposing players shake hands in joy, your teammates, with Wankhede are on their feet, you know youβre Suryakumar Yadav.
