Another day, another record broken. Suryakumar Yadav has been toppling milestones throughout the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. And against the Punjab Kings in Jaipur, he broke Sachin Tendulkar’s long-standing record of most runs scored by a Mumbai Indians (MI) batter in a single IPL season.
Suryakumar had come close to breaking Tendulkar’s record in 2023 but fell short by just 14 runs. But two years later, he’s made the record his own. It isn’t a shock that SKY, who’s MI’s greatest-ever batter, is the one who claims Tendulkar’s top spot. If anyone, it’s Suryakumar who deserves it.
Most runs in an IPL season for Mumbai Indians
619* – Suryakumar Yadav, 2025
618 – Sachin Tendulkar, 2010
605 – Suryakumar Yadav, 2023
553 – Sachin Tendulkar, 2011
540 – Lendl Simmons, 2014
The 360-degree batter has been the best batter in IPL 2025 as well. He’s not scored less than 25 runs in a single inning this season. That happens to be an IPL and T20 record. No one has ever crossed the 25-run mark 14 consecutive times—well, until Suryakumar did it today.
SKY’s 2023 season was great. He averaged over 40 and struck over 180. But this 2025 might be even better. His runs per ball ratio has come down slightly but his average has skyrocketed. One of the reasons why this edition has been a revelation is because he has been unbeaten 6 times. This means he’s won more matches for MI by staying in the middle.
