In a significant development for the struggling Mumbai Indians, world number one T20 batter Suryakumar Yadav made his return to training after a prolonged injury layoff. The aggressive batter, who has been sidelined since January due to a sports hernia surgery and an ankle injury, participated in the team’s training session at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday.
Despite being out of action for several months, Suryakumar displayed his trademark shots with ease during the training session, raising hopes of his imminent return to the team. His presence could provide a much-needed boost to the Mumbai Indians, who are currently at the bottom of the IPL table after losing all three matches so far.
Arriving at the stadium well before his teammates, Suryakumar wasted no time in getting back into the groove. Batting for over an hour, he showcased his prowess with strokes all around the ground, exhibiting his trademark flick shot over the fine-leg region.
Having received clearance from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) staff to join the squad, Suryakumar’s return comes at a crucial juncture for the Mumbai Indians, who are eager to turn their fortunes around in the tournament.
While Suryakumar focused on his training, Delhi Capitals’ batter David Warner was also seen in action during the practice session. Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy bowler Mohit Awasthi provided bowling support to the Delhi Capitals’ batters as both teams prepared diligently for their upcoming matches.
With anticipation building for Suryakumar’s potential inclusion in the Mumbai Indians’ lineup, fans eagerly await his return to the field, hoping for a resurgence in the team’s performance.
