The opener, who scored 48, 45 and 86 in the first three matches, hit 10 sixes and 13 fours as he shared a 219-run partnership with Vihaan Malhotra (129) for the second wicket.
Suryavanshi, the youngest IPL debutant, became the youngest centurion in men’s Twenty20 cricket when he smashed a 35-ball hundred for Rajasthan Royals in April, the second-fastest century in the tournament’s history.
