The second match of the day is on the day. In the match 5 of the IPL 2024, Gujarat Titans are facing Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Both teams are charged up and ready, Hardik Pandya is going to make his captaincy debut in the match. But Suryakumar Yadav is missing out spot in the team. In this article, we will explore the reason behind Suryakumar Yadav’s absence.
Suryakumar Yadav’s Absence:
In match no. 5 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season 2024, Mumbai Indians (MI) faced off against Gujarat Titans (GT). A notable absence from MI’s lineup was their star middle-order batter, Suryakumar Yadav, who missed the game due to injury. Suryakumar recently underwent sports hernia surgery and is currently in the recovery phase at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
Suryakumar Yadav’s absence comes as a significant blow to Mumbai Indians, given his prowess as a reliable middle-order batsman. His recent injury setback occurred during a T20 international match against South Africa in Johannesburg, where he showcased his batting prowess by scoring a sensational hundred. However, he sustained an ankle injury during that match, which has sidelined him from IPL action as he focuses on recuperation and rehabilitation under medical supervision at the NCA.
Suryakumar Yadav’s absence extended to Mumbai Indians’ two warm-up matches preceding their IPL 2024 opener against Gujarat Titans, adding to concerns regarding his recovery and availability for future fixtures.
GT vs MI Match:
Shubman Gill has made his captaincy debut against Mumbai India. The youngest captain is facing one of the most successful sides. After winning the toss, MI opted to bowl first. While batting first, the GT opener, Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill gave a great start. While Hardik Pandya came to bowl the first over, Wriddhiman Saha smashed a boundary. In the first over GT scored 10 runs.
