New Delhi. In the Indian Premier League 2024, Sunday 7th April brought double happiness for the fans of Mumbai Indians. The team got its first win in the tournament after 3 consecutive defeats and the star player also returned after injury. Mumbai, playing under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, opened its account of points in the tournament by defeating Delhi Capitals. However, the return of star batsman Suryakumar Yadav was not as expected.
This season so far has not been what was expected for the Mumbai team. The team management gave the responsibility of captaincy to Hardik Pandya in place of Rohit Sharma. The fans were extremely disappointed with the team’s defeat in the first three matches, but now Mumbai seems to be back on the winning track after getting its first win. The best thing is that Suryakumar Yadav, who is called Mr. 360, played the match for the first time after the injury.
How was the return of Suryakumar Yadav?
The one player whom Mumbai Indians fans were eagerly waiting for since the beginning of the tournament has returned. After missing three consecutive opening matches, Suryakumar Yadav returned to the playing eleven of Mumbai. However, this comeback was nothing special. After facing 2 balls, this batsman returned without opening the account.
Surya’s return after 4 months
Suryakumar Yadav captained the Indian team on the South Africa tour in the T20 series. He got injured on this tour and was away from the field since then. After a minor surgery, he worked on fitness at the National Cricket Academy and now he has returned to the field.
