In a significant development, Mumbai Indians’ explosive batter, Suryakumar Yadav, has been declared fit by NCA today, potentially making him available for their upcoming clash against Delhi Capitals on April 7.
Surya’s last appearance for India was in a T20I against South Africa in December, but he was sidelined due to an ankle injury. Later, he underwent surgery for a sports hernia. Finally, he has been declared fit by the medical experts.
The addition of Suryakumar Yadav to Mumbai Indians’ squad comes as a significant uplift, particularly following their three consecutive losses in IPL 2024, leaving them anchored at the bottom of the standings.
As one of the premier T20 batters today, Suryakumar Yadav has been the linchpin of Mumbai Indians in recent years. His absence in this year’s tournament has been keenly felt by the five-time champions.
