Suryakumar Yadav Brings Up 4000 Runs In IPL
The incident occurred during the 14th over of MI's innings when Suryakumar Yadav was trying to steady the ship for MI alongside Hardik Pandya after Tilak Varma's dismissal. As Avesh Khan bowled a wide delivery outside the off stump, Suryakumar delicately guided over the in-field, collecting four runs over the square.
Thus, he brought up 4000 runs in the IPL, becoming the 17th batter to achieve the phenomenal milestone in the tournament.

As shown in the above table, Virat Kohli holds the record for the most runs in IPL history, amassing 8396 runs. Rohit Sharma follows him at second place, while the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, David Warner, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers also find a place on the elusive list.
Suryakumar is currently placed 17th in the standings, but he might soon overtake Ambati Rayudu and Gautam Gambhir who are not much ahead of him.
Suryakumar Sets Foundation For MI's Respectable Total
After being put into bat first, MI had a solid start to their innings, with Ryan Rickelton slamming a blistering 32-ball 58 with the help of six fours and four sixes.
Although Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya couldn't live up to the expectations, Suryakumar ensured MI posted a challenging total on the board. As of writing, the five-time champions were 170 for five, with Suryakumar and Naman Dhir batting on 45* and 11*, respectively.
