In Match 63 between the Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, May 21, Suryakumar Yadav maintained his excellent form in the current Indian Premier League by scoring an incredible undefeated 73* (43)—his highest total of the season. With this, he tied a record in men’s T20 cricket that has only been surpassed by Temba Bavuma.
In the IPL 2025, this was Suryakumar’s thirteenth innings for MI. Additionally, it was the explosive batter’s 13th consecutive time scoring more than 25 runs. The first professional cricket player to accomplish this was Bavuma. In February 2020, the South African batter reached the milestone. Eight domestic and five international matches made up Bavuma’s 13 innings.
Below is a list of all the 13 innings in which Suryakumar Yadav and Bavuma scored 25-plus scores
