Suryakumar Yadav, a key player for the Mumbai Indians, achieved a significant milestone in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history on April 27, 2025, during a match against the Lucknow Super Giants. He became the quickest Indian player to accumulate 4000 runs in IPL, achieving this feat in terms of balls faced. This remarkable achievement places him among the elite in IPL history.

Suryakumar entered the match needing just 33 more runs to reach the landmark. He accomplished this milestone during the 14th over by successfully hitting a boundary off Avesh Khan’s delivery, sending the ball past the short third man. His performance was instrumental in the match, scoring 52 runs off 28 balls, which contributed significantly to Mumbai Indians’ total score of 215/7 against Lucknow Super Giants.

Notably, Suryakumar’s milestone makes him the third-fastest to achieve 4000 IPL runs based on the number of balls faced, with a total of 2714 balls. He surpasses notable players such as Suresh Raina and David Warner and ranks just behind AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle, who both achieved the milestone with 2658 balls.

Moreover, Suryakumar Yadav became the 12th Indian batsman to cross the 4000-run mark in IPL history. He joins a prestigious lineup that includes names like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni. Additionally, in this match, he also hit his 150th six in the IPL, a milestone reached by only a select few, becoming the 13th Indian to achieve this mark.

This achievement not only highlights Suryakumar’s exceptional talent and consistency but also enhances his standing among the IPL’s greatest players. His ability to reach these milestones rapidly underscores his significant impact in the league and his value to the Mumbai Indians team.
