Suryakumar Yadav’s DNA test demanded after MI star equals Rahul, goes a step closer to Rohit, Kohli

In a stunning display of skill and determination, Suryakumar Yadav lit up the Wankhede Stadium with a scintillating century against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League match on Monday. Chasing a target of 174 runs, Suryakumar showcased his class by smashing his second IPL century off just 51 balls, with 12 fours and 6 sixes to his name.

Despite Mumbai Indians losing their top order early in the chase, Suryakumar took charge and single-handedly guided his team to victory. With a 360-degree shot-making ability, he eased off the pressure and finished the game with a winning shot over deep extra cover.

Not only did Suryakumar become the second Mumbai Indians player after Rohit Sharma to score two IPL centuries, but he also joined the likes of KL Rahul and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the list of Indian players with the most T20 centuries.

Former cricketers and fans alike were in awe of Suryakumar’s performance, with Irfan Pathan praising his commitment and skill, and Mohammad Kaif acknowledging his character and statement-making knock against Pat Cummins.

South African pacer Wayne Parnell even went as far as suggesting a DNA test for Suryakumar to determine his exceptional abilities in the T20 format.

With this remarkable innings, Suryakumar has not only solidified his place in the Mumbai Indians lineup but has also made a strong case for inclusion in the upcoming T20 World Cup. His unbeaten century and partnership with Tilak Varma helped Mumbai Indians secure a comprehensive victory, keeping their playoff hopes alive.
