Mumbai Indians had a very tough task to post a mammoth target for SRH. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan started the innings with a bang and expressed their intentions straight away. Ishan in particular was more threatening with his wild bat-swing.
Ishan Kishan got out after scoring 83 runs in 32 balls and no other MI batsmen were able to trouble SRH bowlers barring Suryakumar Yadav. He got his eyes in first before unleashing his beast mode towards the end of the innings.
In the process, Suryakumar Yadav raced his way to a 24-ball fifty, which happens to be his fastest in the IPL.
Meanwhile, young SRH fast-bowler Umran Malik bowled a bouncer to Suryakumar in the 19th over which smashed his head. The bouncer rattled Surya. SRH fielders immediately signalled the medical staff to come. After being checked Surya was ready to resume his innings.

That 3rd delivery of 18.2. where Umran Malik bowled at 152.9ks is the fastest delivery of this IPL. He's gone past the beast Lockie Ferguson. Wow But Surya send it to FOUR #MIvsSRH #SuryakumarYadav #IPL2021 #MIPaltan

A Indian fast bowler who is consistently bowling around 150km/h and he is fastest bowler in #IPL2021 . This is outstanding for future Indian cricket 🏏. Hope @BCCI will work on it 🤞.

The way Umran malik has hit Surya Kumar yadav on his head it clears everything what is going to happen in UP elections 2022.
Asaduddin Owaisi is going to go all guns blazing against Akhilesh Yadav and samajwadi party.
