indian cricket league 2024: result | Points table
Chasing SRH’s 173 for 8, MI was in trouble for 3 for 31, but Surya fought back and posted a 51-ball 102 not out, including 12 fours and 6 sixes, with his 360 bowling beat SRH bowling batting.
He added 143 runs (37 not out) in an unbeaten fourth-wicket partnership with Tilak Varma.
It was MI’s first win after four back-to-back losses, keeping them mathematically alive in the playoff race. However, their chances depend not only on winning the remaining games but also on the results of other games going in their favour.
But the win certainly brought some cheer to the MI camp and Suriya was quick to share the joy with his better half.

This is the second century of Surya’s IPL career.
military intelligence captain Hardik Pandya Said Surya’s knock on the door was “unbelievable”.
“It’s unbelievable! The best thing the Sky has ever done is he puts pressure on pitchers. It’s pure confidence… He can change the game in different ways. We’re lucky to have him around us, “Hardik said after the game.
