Whenever Suryakumar Yadav walked out to bat in IPL 2025, anticipation grew in the air. With his outrageous stroke range and fearless innovation, he smashed 38 sixes this season for Mumbai Indians many of them landing in previously uncharted areas of the stadium.
SKY’s signature ramps over fine leg and whip-lashes over deep square kept bowlers guessing. His strike rate against pace was staggering, and in particular, his 62-ball 102 against SRH studded with 8 sixes will be remembered as one of the finest modern T20 innings.

Leading PBKS from the front, Iyer took calculated risks, especially against spinners in the middle overs.

Batting in the middle order for the Lucknow Super Giants, Pooran often walked in with the scoreboard under pressure only to flip the script in a matter of overs.
His ability to clear the ropes with minimal footwork and immense wrist power made him lethal, especially in the death overs. Be it lofted drives over long-off or pick-up shots over square leg, Pooran displayed a full range of six-hitting artistry. One of his standout performances came against RCB, where he smoked 7 sixes in a 25-ball 65, turning the match on its head.
