Mumbai May Face A Big Blow

According to media reports, the availability of Suryakumar Yadav, one of the important batsmen of Mumbai Indians, is considered doubtful in the first two matches of the upcoming tournament. Mumbai will play its first match against Gujarat Titans on March 24 and the second match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (March 27). There is doubt whether the NCA medical team will give a fitness certificate to Surya before these two matches or not.

Last year, Team India's explosive batsman got injured during the series played against South Africa. Due to an ankle injury, he could not even play in the T-20 series against Afghanistan. Surya's condition is now much improved. Recently, the star cricketer uploaded a video on social media. In this, he was seen exercising with Arshdeep Singh.

The 33-year-old batsman has scored 2141 runs for Team India in 60 T20 International matches at a strike rate of more than 171. He may get a chance to play in the T20 World Cup 2024. However, his entry into the team will also depend on how he performs in IPL 2024. Surya is one of the important batsmen of Mumbai Indians. He has played 139 matches in his IPL career so far. In these, the 360-degree batsman has scored 3249 runs with the help of one century.
