In a setback for the Mumbai Indians, their star player Suryakumar Yadav is slated to miss a couple of matches in the IPL 2024 due to a sports hernia. The news comes as a disappointment for the team and fans alike, as Suryakumar Yadav has been a key performer for the Mumbai-based franchise in previous seasons.
Suryakumar Yadav underwent surgery for the sports hernia back in January and has been undergoing rehabilitation since then. However, despite the ongoing efforts, he is yet to fully recover, and the medical team at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) is closely monitoring his progress. The NCA medical team has not cleared him to return to action, indicating that he needs more time to recuperate before he can resume playing.
This development comes at a crucial juncture for the Mumbai Indians, as they aim to put up a strong performance in the IPL 2024 season. Suryakumar Yadav’s absence will be felt by the team, as he has been a consistent performer with both the bat and in the field. His versatility and ability to anchor the innings or accelerate the scoring rate as required have been invaluable assets for the Mumbai Indians in the past.
With the T20 World Cup on the horizon, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is keeping a close eye on Suryakumar Yadav’s recovery process. The team management will be hopeful that he can make a swift recovery and return to action at the earliest.
In the meantime, the Mumbai Indians will need to regroup and adapt to the absence of their star player as they look to maintain their momentum in the IPL 2024 tournament.
