When two pillars of the Mumbai Indians (MI) batting lineup collapsed against the Delhi Capitals (DC) on match 63 of IPL 2025, it was Suryakumar Yadav who stood solid like an iron barricade and swung his blade when he saw opportunities to score quickly.

Yadav remained unbeaten on a sluggish Wankhede Stadium wicket for 73 runs off 43 deliveries and helped MI to post 180 in the first innings. It was not the first time when the decorated batter pulled one of the most successful IPL teams out of the mud.

When iconic figures like Sachin Tendulkar, Lasith Malinga, Rohit Sharma, and many others shared the same dugout, then stars like Suryakumar Yadav often went behind their shadows. But when a cricket enthusiast searches about the right-handed batter's contribution to the five-time IPL-winning franchise, then the person can understand that his nickname is 'SKY,' who has no limit.

From IPL 2018, SKY has been playing for Mumbai for a constant 8 years, where 2023 came as his most successful season for him with 605 runs in 16 matches. If Mumbai MI qualifies for the playoffs in the ongoing campaign, then Yadav can get a few more matches to add more runs to his profile. He currently has 583 runs in 13 matches, close to his best of 605.
