Suryakumar Yadav – 100 IPL Matches
Suryakumar Yadav, who made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians in 2012, has played 99 matches so far. The 1st qualifier of the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League was his 100th IPL match.

Suryakumar Yadav’s performance has been sensational throughout the season but still, he hasn’t named in any of the squads for the tour of Australia next month. All the cricket fraternity and fans are questioning the selectors for not picking him in the squad despite witnessing his performance in the ongoing IPL edition.
