Mumbai Indians may have won the IPL five times but their condition is looking bad in the 17th season of this tournament. Although the tournament has started but Mumbai Indians have had a very bad start. Hardik Pandya's team has lost two consecutive matches. First this team lost to Gujarat Titans and now Sunrisers Hyderabad also defeated them badly. Well, after this defeat Mumbai got very bad news. There is news that their star player Suryakumar Yadav will not be able to play in the next few matches.
Suryakumar Yadav did not recover from surgery
World number one T20 batsman Suryakumar Yadav has undergone sports hernia surgery and he has not been able to recover from it yet. The player has not received permission to play from the NCS and hence will be out of the next few IPL matches. There is lack of sun in Mumbai. Regarding Surya's injury, BCCI sources have been quoted as saying that the player will make a comeback but it may take some time. However, BCCI does not want to take any risk with this batsman because after IPL, there is T20 World Cup in West Indies and America in June and his role will be important there.
Hardik returned to Mumbai
Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, Gujarat Titans won the title in their first season while they were runners-up last time. Before IPL 2024, Hardik has joined Mumbai and has been made the captain of the team in place of Rohit. Along with this, Hardik could not play in many tournaments after getting injured in the ODI World Cup. Considering the T20 World Cup to be held in America and West Indies in June, all eyes will be on Hardik's performance in both batting and bowling departments.
