MI vs DC LIVE – Suryakumar Yadav Doubtful: It is worth noting that MI is scheduled to play Delhi Capitals in their 1st match of the season on March 27th.
Surya is now prononunced doubtful for the match.
“There could be a possibility that he might be advised by the board’s medical team to not risk playing the opener,” the BCCI source told PTI.
Surya was one of the four players retained by Mumbai Indians before the IPL Auction.
Surya is one of the most important cog in the wheel of MI’s batting line up along with skipper Rohit Sharma and their Rs 15.25 crore ‘buy-back’ Ishan Kishan.
Hence, there is no way that even the MI team management would take any risk as they have a larger picture to look at.
MI have a five-day gap after their first game and they next play Rajasthan Royals on April 2. It is believed that the 360 degree power-hitter will be good to go by then.
“I think by the second MI game, he would be 100 per cent match fit. It is likely to be more of a precautionary measure if he doesn’t play the first game,” the source added.
