Mumbai Indians (MI) fans have reason to be optimistic as star batsman Suryakumar Yadav is set to rejoin the team on Friday. His return could be a turning point for the struggling franchise, currently languishing at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table after losing their first three matches.
Suryakumar Yadav on road to recovery
Suryakumar Yadav has been absent from the tournament so far due to an ankle injury he sustained during the third T20I against South Africa in December.
This injury required surgery, followed by a separate procedure for a sports hernia. His absence has been a significant blow to Mumbai Indians’ batting lineup.
Will Suryakumar Yadav play in MI vs DC IPL 2024 match
While Suryakumar will be rejoining the squad on Friday, his participation in their upcoming match against Delhi Capitals on Sunday remains unclear. The team is yet to confirm his fitness for the crucial encounter, as per ESPNcricinfo.
It is most likely that MI will not risk Suryakumar Yadav in the playing XI.
Spark for Mumbai Indians batting?
Suryakumar’s return to form is eagerly awaited by Mumbai Indians fans. His last competitive outing, a blistering 56-ball century against South Africa, showcased his explosive batting style. His ability to score quickly and adapt to any situation could be the catalyst Mumbai needs to break their losing streak and climb the points table.
Time running out for MI?
With the IPL season well underway, every match is crucial for Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians. Their three consecutive losses have put them in a precarious position.
Suryakumar Yadav’s experience and talent could be the game-changer they desperately need against Delhi Capitals.
