Mumbai Indians (MI) are by far the most successful team in franchise cricket, not just the IPL. They have a record five IPL titles and two Champions League Twenty20 titles.
Mumbai Indians have had several great players throughout the years who have played an important role in the franchise’s success.
Sachin Tendulkar, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya and Quinton de Kock had made significant contributions many times, some of these batters have even scored centuries.
We rate MI batters’ hundreds in the IPL so far:
5) Rohit Sharma 109* (IPL 2012)
Rohit Sharma’s 109 off 60 balls during an IPL 2019 match between the Mumbai Indians and the Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens was a fantastic knock. Rohit’s knock, which featured 12 fours and five sixes, aided his team’s total of 182 in 20 overs. He and Herschelle Gibbs put on a stunning second-wicket partnership of 167 runs.
When it was their turn to bat, KKR only managed to score 155 runs, delivering MI a 27-run win. Many cricket analysts and fans complimented Rohit’s innings, praising him for the quality and elegance with which he approached his batting.
4) Lendl Simmons 100* (IPL 2014)
Lendl Simmons scored 100 unbeaten off 61 deliveries in a match between the Mumbai Indians and the Kings XI Punjab in 2014. His inning had 14 boundaries and two sixes, demonstrating his power-hitting abilities.
On his path to this century, Simmons batted aggressively and demonstrated his ability to hit boundaries.
Simmons’ century was critical in Mumbai Indians’ pursuit of Punjab’s total of 157 with an over to spare. He had significant partnerships with Michael Hussey, Ambati Rayudu, and Rohit Sharma, but he was the team’s major run-scorer. For his outstanding performance, the Trinidadian won Player of the Match.
3) Sachin Tendulkar 100* (IPL 2011)
Sachin Tendulkar began batting for the Mumbai Indians against the now-defunct Kochi Tuskers Kerela in 2011 and produced a brilliant century that demonstrated his talent and expertise.
Tendulkar displayed his typical precision and stroke selection throughout his undefeated 100-run knock. He played with remarkable control and timing, locating openings in the field and efficiently rotating the strike.
Tendulkar’s innings included 12 boundaries and three sixes, and he formed important partnerships with Davy Jacobs and Ambati Rayudu. Tendulkar’s century was critical in assisting the Mumbai Indians in setting a tough mark of 183 for KTK.
Sadly for him and MI, KTK easily reached the target with spectacular knocks from Brendon McCullum and Mahela Jayawardene.
2) Sanath Jayasuriya 114* (IPL 2008)
Sanath Jayasuriya hit a spectacular century in a match between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings. Jayasuriya opened the innings in the match, which took place at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, and scored 114 runs off just 48 deliveries.
Jayasuriya batted aggressively throughout his innings, hitting nine fours and 11 sixes. His innings came against an aggressive attack that included Albie Morkel, Manpreet Gony, Laxmipathy Balaji, and Muttiah Muralidharan.
With 6.1 overs to spare and nine wickets in hand, Jayasuriya’s stunning effort enabled the Mumbai Indians to chase down a total of 157. His century against CSK in the IPL remains one of the tournament’s most memorable innings.
1) Suryakumar Yadav 103* (IPL 2023)
Suryakumar Yadav is currently the top T20 hitter in the world. He had a strong performance against the Gujarat Titans just a few days earlier. Surya batted at No. 3 and hit an unbeaten 103 off 49 deliveries to propel MI to 218-5 in their 20 overs.
Surya’s innings included 11 boundaries and six maximums, and some of his strokes were just incredible. It’s worth remembering that when he reached 50, the innings was just 23 deliveries long. This was his first century in the IPL, and it won him praise from a variety of sources.
