Suryakumar Yadav, the right-handed batsman for Mumbai Indians, has been on fire in the ongoing IPL 2023 season. In the match against Gujarat Titans, he smashed his maiden ton in the IPL, scoring an unbeaten 103 off just 49 balls. He hit 11 fours and 6 sixes to propel his team to a massive total of 218/5 against the reigning champions. His knock included a stunning scoop shot for six in the third-man area, leaving Sanjay Manjrekar speechless and even impressing MI’s mentor Sachin Tendulkar, who clapped in appreciation.

After coming to bat in the 7th over, Yadav initially played with caution, sharing a 65-run stand with Vishnu Vinod to steady the ship. However, he shifted gears in the final few overs, smashing 53 runs alone in the last four overs. He reached his fifty off 32 balls and went on to complete his century in just 17 more balls, hitting three fours and two sixes in the 18th and 19th overs.

Yadav’s stunning knock helped Mumbai Indians set a record fifth 200-plus total in the ongoing IPL 2023 season. He was named the Player of the Match for his incredible performance, showcasing his ability to introduce new shots in every match, leaving even the greats of the game in awe. His shot-making skills and his composure under pressure make him one of the most dangerous batters in the world.

In an interview with Sanjay Manjrekar after the match, Yadav described his scoop shot, saying that due to the dew on the ground, hitting the ball straight was not the best option. He knew that playing in the third-man area was a good option and went for it. He credited his success to a lot of practice and hard work.
