But the player who shone the most was our “Mr. 360”, Suryakumar Yadav. Even though his team Mumbai Indians, could not make it to the finals, Suryakumar’s performance surprised everyone.
Why did Suryakumar Yadav become the MVP?
You must be thinking that the Orange Cap was won by Sai Sudarshan (with 759 runs), so why did Suryakumar Yadav get the MVP? Well, the IPL MVP award is not just for runs or wickets. There is a special point system behind it, which looks at the overall impact of the player.

Suryakumar batted mostly at number 3 and became the first non-opener to score 700+ runs in IPL history. Man, he hits shots in every direction, and his innovative batting troubled every bowling attack. Be it the scoop, the reverse sweep, or the lofted drive – his style is unique! He hit 69 fours and 38 sixes and also took 6 catches, which increased his MVP points. His MVP points were 320.5, which was more than Sai Sudharsan’s 311.0. This shows how big his impact was.
