By Tomorrow Suryakumar Yadav is set to join the Mumbai Indians
The ace batter of the Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav is set to feature for the franchise in their next IPL game against the Delhi Capitals on Sunday.
Suryakumar last played competitive cricket in December 2023, when he scored a century in the third T20I of a bilateral series against South Africa. He suffered a grade 2 tear in his ankle in the series, which required surgery.
The world’s No. 1 T20 batter later underwent surgery for a sports hernia injury and was under recovery at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) facility in Bengaluru.
According to the statement of the source, “Suryakumar will join the Mumbai Indians squad tomorrow (Friday) morning. He will also join the training session in the nets, in all likelihood. Also, he is likely to play the next match against DC. However, a final call will be taken by the coaches.”
The Mumbai Indians are facing a lot of difficulties in their campaign right now. The team management is already facing flak due to Hardik’s captaincy, and on top of that, the franchise has lost three matches in a row. With zero points from three games, MI will be keen to earn their first couple of points of the season by beating DC on Sunday.
