PBKS vs MI IPL 2025: Suryakumar Yadav Scripts History, Beats Temba Bavuma To Achieve T20 World Record

PBKS vs MI: Mumbai Indians' star batter and India's T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, has etched his name in cricketing history after yet another impactful innings against Punjab Kings at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

The flamboyant right-hander has now become the first player in T20 history to register 14 consecutive scores of 25 or more, a record unmatched in the format's evolution.

With this feat, Suryakumar surpasses the previous benchmark held by South Africa's Temba Bavuma, who had strung together 13 successive 25+ scores between 2019 and 2020. Suryakumar's unprecedented run includes performances that showcase both consistency and aggression lighting up the IPL 2025 season.

Here's how the record for most 25+ scores in a single IPL season stacks up:

14 - Suryakumar Yadav (2025)*

13 - Kane Williamson (2018)

13 - Shubman Gill (2023)

Suryakumar has been instrumental in reviving Mumbai Indians' fortunes this season after their underwhelming campaign last year. With over 600 runs to his name already and counting, he remains one of the strongest contenders for the Orange Cap. His purple patch has also helped MI stage a remarkable comeback - powering them into playoff contention with a six-match winning streak.

Currently fighting for a top-two finish on the points table, MI are once again eyeing their sixth IPL title. Under Hardik Pandya's leadership and with Suryakumar in top gear, the five-time champions are shaping up to be a formidable force in the final leg of the tournament. However, they still face stiff competition from other in-form teams such as Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Punjab Kings.
