Suryakumar Yadav, who is looking for a way back in the Indian Test team through the Duleep Trophy, has been injured. He injured his hand while fielding against Tamil Nadu in the Buchi Babu tournament on Saturday, although it is not yet known how serious the injury is. There is not much information about whether he will be able to participate in the Duleep Trophy or not.
This match was nothing special for Mumbai and the team was all out for 156 in their first innings in response to Tamil Nadu's 379 runs. Suryakumar scored 30 runs off 38 balls in this innings. Tamil Nadu scored 286 runs in their second innings and have given Mumbai a target of 510 runs.
Suryakumar Yadav made his debut against Australia in February 2023, a year and a half ago. He has played only this Test match. Surya scored just 8 runs in the first innings of his debut Test. Team India won this match by an innings and 132 runs.
Surya said after Mumbai's training session in Coimbatore, 'Many people have worked hard to make their place and I also want to regain this place. I made my debut for India in Tests, after which I also got injured. Many people got opportunities and they have also done well.' He had told Cricinfo - 'If I get a place, I will also get a chance, but it is not in my hands. All I can do is to perform in Buchi Babu and Duleep Trophy and wait for my turn.'
Suryakumar played his last first class match for West Zone in the Duleep Trophy final in July last year. He scored 8 runs in the first innings and 4 runs in the second innings. After this, he also underwent groin surgery, due to which he stayed away from cricket for 3 months. However, he managed to make a place in the ODI and T20 World Cup team.
Many such players are going to participate in the Duleep Trophy, who are waiting for a place in the Indian Test team. Suryakumar is a part of Rituraj Gaikwad-led India C in this tournament, which also includes Sai Sudarshan and Rajat Patidar. Players like Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant are also going to play in this tournament, who are waiting for a comeback in the Indian Test team through the Duleep Trophy.
