Suryakumar Yadav is expected to miss the initial phase of IPL 2024 as he is undergoing an operation in Germany
The India cricket team has been plagued with injuries. A new addition to the list is Suryakumar Yadav, this time with a fresh injury. SKY already suffered an ankle injury in the series against the Proteas and is missing the IND vs. AFG series. Adding more concerns, SKY now has a hernia, which will be operated on overseas. SKY is expected to be fit in 8–9 weeks.
The fresh injury addition means SKY will miss the domestic season and won’t play any part in the Ranji Trophy. Though he is expected to be fit for the IPL, reports claim he might miss the initial phases of the IPL in 2024.
Sports hernias are not uncommon among players. It is usually a tear that happens in the groin or the lower abdomen area. SKY is currently at the NCA, and he is expected to fly to Germany to get operated on.
As per the statement of the source, “SKY was recently diagnosed with sports hernia. He is currently recuperating at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. In two to three days, he will fly to Munich, Germany, to get operated on. It means that he certainly won’t be playing for Mumbai this season in the Ranji Trophy and is likely to miss the initial games for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL.”
It is expected that SKY will require around 8–9 weeks after his surgery to recover. Which means that he will miss the Ranji Trophy season. Furthermore, it is expected that he might miss the initial phase of IPL 2024.
As the source said, “After his hernia operation, it might take up to nine weeks for him to start training. Hopefully he will be fit during the IPL.”
