New Delhi. The troubles of Mumbai Indians under the leadership of the new captain are not showing any end. IPL 2024 has started. The team has also lost the first match. But the list of its injured players is not getting smaller. The wait for Suryakumar Yadav’s return is also increasing. Surya is currently the number-1 batsman in T20 format in the ICC rankings.
Mumbai Indians have not had a good start in IPL 2024. He had to face defeat from Gujarat Titans in his very first match. If we look at the combination of Mumbai team, there is a big lack in it and that is an experienced middle order batsman. However, Hardik Pandya and Tim David are at sixth-seventh position. But there is no batsman at third, fourth or fifth position who can score runs quickly. This shortcoming is overcome by Suryakumar Yadav, who is the best at number three or four.
Bangladesh’s misfortune at its own home, could not touch the score of 100 in 3 consecutive ODIs… 89, 97, 95 runs…
Suryakumar Yadav is taking rehabilitation therapy at the National Cricket Academy. Earlier it was said that Surya would be fit before the start of IPL 2024. But according to the report of Cricinfo, Suryakumar Yadav will not participate in the match against Hyderabad on March 27. Not only this, there is little hope of him being fit for the Mumbai vs Rajasthan Royals match to be held on April 1.
Surya’s continuous unfitness can spoil the plans of captain Hardik Pandya. It is also possible that in the absence of Surya, Hardik may change his batting order and bat at number four or five.
As far as the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad is concerned, Mumbai Indians can once again field the same playing eleven which was fielded against Gujarat Titans.
Mumbai Indians Probable Playing XI (Including Impact Player): Ishan Kishan, Rohit Sharma, Naman Dheer, Dewald Brevis, Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Tim David, Shams Mulani, Gerald Coetzee, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah, Luke Wood.
