New Delhi. India’s Mr. 360 degree batsman Suryakumar Yadav has been away from cricket for the last 3 months. Despite being away from cricket for a long time, Surya continues to shine in the ICC T20 batsmen’s rankings. Surya remains at number one in the ranking of T20 batsmen, while spinner Rashid Khan, who was the player of the series by taking 8 wickets in the recently concluded 3-match T20 series against Ireland, has returned to the top 10 in the ranking of bowlers. It is doubtful that Surya will play in the upcoming season of IPL. Surya, who is undergoing rehab at the National Cricket Academy, had a fitness test a day earlier where he failed. Now his another fitness test will be held on Thursday, where it will be known whether he will play for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024 or not.
Suryakumar Yadav, who is waiting to make a comeback for Mumbai Indians in the upcoming season of IPL, has 861 points while Phil Salt is in second place with 802 points. Suryakumar has not played cricket since sports hernia surgery in December. Meanwhile, Rashid Khan, who played an important role in the 2-1 win against Ireland, has returned to the top ten. He jumped four places from ninth to fourth place. He took 8 wickets in the three-match T20 series against Ireland.
KL Rahul and Ravi Bishnoi can get a place in the T20 World Cup team, provided… LSG head coach told the formula.
8 matches… 31 wickets, made the team champion, yet Indian cricketers are forced to face many hurdles for the job.
Naveen Ul Haq gained 2 places
Afghanistan’s fast bowler Naveen Ul Haq has climbed two places to 55th position. Ireland’s Josh Little has moved up seven places to 39th, Mark Adair has moved up two places to 56th and Barry McCarthy has moved up 15 places to 77th. Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan remains at the top in the rankings of T20 all-rounders.
Surya’s broken heart
After failing in the fitness test, Suryakumar Yadav had posted a broken heart emoji on social media. This clearly shows that Surya is heartbroken. He is desperate to play in IPL. Under the captaincy of Surya, India played T20 series on South Africa tour. He suffered an ankle injury during the South Africa tour. For this reason, he was out of the 3-match home T20 series against Afghanistan. Surya will have to obtain fitness certificate from NCA to play IPL.
