In the pivotal seventh over, as Suryakumar endeavored to stabilize MI’s innings alongside Tilak Varma, the encounter with SRH’s Jansen unfolded. Jansen commenced his over with a well-directed length delivery, just above the pad, which Suryakumar skillfully whipped wide of mid-on, leveraging the bounce expertly.
Undeterred by the challenge posed by Jansen’s pace, Suryakumar unleashed his attacking instincts on the subsequent delivery, hammering the ball down the ground with power and precision, ensuring it raced along the turf for another boundary.
Jansen attempted to vary his approach by bowling a cross-seam delivery on a fullish length, angling away through the sixth stump. However, Suryakumar’s confidence and skill were undiminished as he leaned across and dispatched the ball with a resounding slap.

As the ball approached, Suryakumar swiftly adjusted his position and unleashed a controlled shot, guiding the ball over the fine leg region with precision. The shot was executed with a flat trajectory, ensuring that it cleared the boundary comfortably for yet another six and with that Suryakumar accumulated 20 runs in boundary in the over.
