Mumbai Indians’ sensational batter Suryakumar Yadav has raised concerns about his participation in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League. Amidst speculations regarding his fitness, SKY has shared a mysterious post and has left the fans concerned.
Although, Suryakumar Yadav is expected to feature in the upcoming tournament, there are chances that he might miss the initial phase of the league.
It has to be noted that SKY hasn’t played any competitive game since December last year because of injuries. The middle-order batter was last seen playing for India in the T20I series against South Africa, where he impressed one and all with his stunning century. However, he sustained an ankle injury during that game. And while he was recovering from the injury, he suffered a sports hernia. He had to undergo surgery for both the issues.
SKY had to miss the home T20I series against Afghanistan because of the injury. SKY was earlier expected to return to action in the DY Patil T20 Cup last month but he failed to recover in time. And looking at the latest developments, it seems SKY will take more time on the sidelines to recover fully.

We are always going to be in that sort of domain of having fitness issues as other teams are as well.”

Look, if we lose one or two from fitness perspective, it is what it is. That’s important and we just have to keep on the right track and sharp on replacements,”
