Suryakumar Yadav made his comeback to the field after a few months during the MI vs DC clash on Sunday, April 7. However, the Mumbai Indians batter could not showcase a spectacular show in the match; getting out for a two-ball duck. Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed by Delhi Capitals pacer Anrich Nortje.
Suryakumar Yadav has been out of the field since the start of this year due to a hamstring injury. The right-handed batsman also missed the India vs Afghanistan T20I series earlier this year in January. He led Team India to a 4-1 victory as Indian skipper against Australia in November last year. He later played in a T20I series vs South Africa in December.
Yadav also missed the first three opening games for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024 as he was getting fit for the field. A few days ago, the National Cricket Academy (NCA) declared him fit to play. As a result, Suryakumar Yadav made his comeback to the field after more than three months.
