In the MI vs. PBKS IPL 2023 game, Rohit becomes the first batter from India to accomplish a significant feat and Suryakumar changes T20 history.
In the MI versus PBKS home game, Rohit Sharma became the first Indian batter to accomplish a significant feat. Another significant T20 record was set by Suryakumar.
Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, made history on Saturday in the Indian Premier League (IPL) when he accomplished a historic feat during the recently concluded match between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS).
At the renowned Wankhede Stadium, the record-breaking Mumbai Indians led by veteran opener Rohit, we’re hoping to resurrect their season.
After the hosts lost opener Ishan Kishan for little gain in the second over, Rohit took charge of MI’s run-chase in the high-scoring thriller at the Wankhede and ultimately played a fun knock.
Even though Rohit fell short of scoring a quickfire fifty against Punjab Kings. The MI captain made history by pulling off a remarkable feat in the lucrative league.
Due to his aggressive batting style, Rohot earned the moniker “the Hitman” and became the first Indian player to hit 250 sixes in an IPL game.
In 233 games of the lucrative league, the Mumbai captain has smoked 250 sixes. In the richest T20 league in the world, only legendary players Chris Gayle (357) and AB de Villiers (251) have hit more sixes than India’s Rohit.
While Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit’s teammate also made history in the game’s shortest format, Rohit added another feather to his already impressive cap.
Suryakumar, the top-ranked T20 batter, found his form again on Saturday, playing a brilliant knock to keep Mumbai in contention for their fourth victory of the new season after a string of forgettable innings.
In the IPL 2023 match against the Punjab-based team, Suryakumar scored 57 runs off just 26 balls. The top batsman also reached the milestone of 6,000 T20 runs during the high-scoring match between Mumbai and Punjab.
The fastest Indian T20 cricketer to reach 6,000 runs is Suryakumar. Suryakumar is surpassed by only four players on the elite list: Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Glenn Maxwell, and Kieron Pollard.
Suryakumar and Rohit played lightning-quick innings but their batting prowess was in vain as MI lost the game by 13 runs. Rohit’s MI team is in seventh place on the IPL 2023 points table with three victories and three losses in six games.
