The week that passed by in the IPL was all about the Mumbai Indians. The defending champions have come up with herculean efforts to stun the other teams in the competition. They have managed to escalate to the top four in the points table and are now back in the contention for the playoffs.

One of the key contributors of their success has been Suryakumar Yadav. Suryakumar Yadav has consistently given brisk starts to the Mumbai Indians in the tournament. He scored 36 against the Kolkata Knight Riders in Kolkata. And a couple of days earlier in the same week, he has hit a brilliant 59 against the same side.

Hard-hitting Delhi Daredevils batsman Rishabh Pant took the IPL world by storm this week. He became the second youngest cricketer to score an IPL hundred. Also, he became the youngest cricketer to cross the 1000-run mark in the tournament. He smashed an unbeaten 128 off just 63 deliveries in the clash against the Sunrisers.

His whirlwind knock fetched him praises from all corners of the cricket fraternity. Also, with the knock, he stamped his authority on the Orange Cap in the tournament. It is only unfortunate that the fans will not get to see him in the playoffs since the Daredevils are already out of the race.
