Suryakumar Yadav Reclaims Orange Cap with Record-Breaking Streak in IPL 2025

Suryakumar Yadav's Stellar Performance
Suryakumar Yadav has once again taken hold of the Orange Cap, showcasing his remarkable consistency in IPL 2025. He scored 35 runs off 24 balls in a match against the Gujarat Titans, marking his 12th consecutive innings of at least 25 runs, thus surpassing Robin Uthappa's previous record.
Currently, Yadav has accumulated 510 runs at an impressive average of 63.75 and a strike rate of 170.56, including three half-centuries. During the MI-GT match, he formed a crucial 71-run partnership after the team faced early setbacks, but the Mumbai Indians struggled, collapsing from 97/2 to 123/6, losing five wickets for just 26 runs.

Yadav's performance has been pivotal for the Mumbai Indians, especially after a rocky start to the season. His explosive innings of 68 runs off just 30 balls against the Chennai Super Kings highlighted his exceptional form. This season could potentially be his best since 2023, although he still seeks to convert these starts into larger scores.
Consistency and Team Impact
In 2023, Yadav achieved a century and five fifties, and with three half-centuries already in 2025, he has shown remarkable consistency while bouncing back from a dip in his T20I form. His performances have not only solidified his position but also allowed his teammates to thrive alongside him.
