Mumbai Indians Set to Face Punjab Kings in IPL 2025 Qualifier 2

Mumbai Indians Aim for Final Showdown

Today, the Mumbai Indians are gearing up to compete against the Punjab Kings in the IPL 2025 Qualifier 2. The victorious team will advance to the finals to take on RCB. Mumbai Indians are determined to defeat Punjab and secure a spot in the title match, aiming for their sixth IPL trophy.

Additionally, if Mumbai's star batsman Suryakumar Yadav delivers another explosive performance, he could make history. His form this season has been exceptional, and he is a strong contender for the Orange Cap. He is also on the verge of breaking AB de Villiers' all-time IPL record.

Suryakumar Yadav Close to Breaking Record

AB de Villiers holds the record for the most runs scored in a single IPL season by a non-opener. Suryakumar Yadav is just 15 runs shy of surpassing this record.

In 2016, when RCB last reached the finals, de Villiers amassed 687 runs in 16 innings, boasting an average of 52.84 and a strike rate of 168.78.

In contrast, Yadav has scored 673 runs in 15 innings during IPL 2025, with an impressive average of 67.30 and a strike rate of 167.83. If he manages to score 15 more runs today, he will become the highest-scoring non-opener in IPL history.
