IPL 2023: Best XI from sixth week

5. Suryakumar Yadav (Mumbai Indians)

Without any doubt, Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best T20 batsmen on the planet. He seems to have answers to all the problems the bowlers put up and has been unstoppable in the past few games for Mumbai. Even after a horrible ODI series and the first few weeks of IPL, Surya has managed to pull things back.

During a tough away game against Chennai Super Kings, Surya and Nehal Wadhera managed to put up a fight and thanks to them, Mumbai managed to put up 139 runs on the board. But, this was never enough as the informed CSK batters easily chased down the target. In this game, he managed to score 26 runs from 22 balls even after a top-order collapse.

Later on, Mumbai Indians faced their arch-rivals, Royal Challengers Bangalore. While batting first, RCB had set up a target of 200 runs and in reply, MI chased it down in just 16.3 overs. The star of the game was Surya, who went on to smash 83 runs from just 35 balls.
