Suryakumar Yadav Achieves Milestone of 4000 T20 Runs for Mumbai Indians

Suryakumar Yadav's Historic Achievement

In a remarkable feat, Suryakumar Yadav, the T20I captain of India, has set a new record while playing for the Mumbai Indians during the 2026 Indian Premier League. On May 24, during the final league match of the season, he became only the second player in the franchise's history to score 4000 runs in T20 cricket. To reach this milestone, he needed 40 runs against the Rajasthan Royals and achieved it by hitting a six off Yash Raj Punja on the second ball of the tenth over. As of this match, Suryakumar has accumulated 4002 runs in 127 T20 matches for MI. The franchise retained him for a whopping Rs 16.35 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction.

Top Run Scorers for Mumbai Indians

Rohit Sharma leads the list with 6432 runs in 235 matches, followed by Suryakumar Yadav with 4002 runs. Other notable players include Kieron Pollard with 3915 runs in 211 matches, Ambati Rayudu with 2635 runs in 136 matches, and Sachin Tendulkar with 2599 runs in 91 matches. Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a duck in the recent match against Rajasthan Royals.

Globally, Virat Kohli holds the record for the most runs scored for a single team in T20 cricket, having amassed 9,462 runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru across 296 matches from 2008 to 2026. He is also the leading run-scorer for RCB in IPL 2026 and will be competing in Qualifier 1 against Gujarat Titans on May 26 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala.
