Suryakumar Yadav is doubtful to play in the Mumbai Indians’ first game against the Delhi Capitals in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2022.
However, Suryakumar Yadav is still recovering from his thumb injury.
Suryakumar Yadav has been ruled out of the Mumbai Indians’ Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 opener against Delhi Capitals. The much-anticipated showdown will take place at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on March 27. Suryakumar Yadav, the team’s customary third batter, seems to be out, which means the five-time winners may have to go without him.
According to reports, the 31-year-old is still recovering from a hairline fracture on his thumb. During the T20I series against the West Indies last month, he got the ailment. In the succeeding T20I series against Sri Lanka, he was ruled out of the match. So far, the dasher might not play in the first game, even though he’s getting better at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore.
Suryakumar Yadav is now receiving treatment for his injuries in Bangalore.
As of now, Surya is undergoing rehabilitation at the NCA. He is getting better, but he may not be able to play in the first game, according to a BCCI official who was told about the situation and reported by the Times of India.
As a result, he may be recommended by the board’s medical experts to avoid playing the opening, “he said. Before the IPL mega-auction in 2022, the franchise decided to keep Suryakumar as one of four players they wanted to keep from the current roster. Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, and Krunal Pandya were all overlooked in favour of him.
As a result, MI must have great expectations for the swashbuckling hitter. However, Mumbai Indians fans can rest easy knowing that Suryakumar will be available for the team’s second game of the month against the Rajasthan Royals. “I believe he will be fully fit for the second Michigan game.” The insider said that if he doesn’t participate in the first game, “it’s more of a preventative measure,” Suryakumar has been on a tear recently and will be vital to MI’s success. This cannot be overstated.
