His absence has significantly impacted MI’s batting prowess, evident in their recent match against Rajasthan Royals where they managed only 125-9 in the first innings. Additionally, MI’s string of losses, now at three in a row, has left them at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table.

With 6 wickets in 2 matches, he ranks second among the highest wicket-takers in IPL 2024. Yadav boasts an impressive bowling average of 6.83 and an economy rate of 5.12 after his initial outings.
