Suryakumar Yadav, the veteran Mumbai Indians batter who has been ruled out of IPL 2022 on Monday because of an injury, has said to his fans that he “will be back in no time”. Notably, Yadav was ruled out of the entire IPL 2022 due to a left forearm muscle injury which was certainly a big blow for Mumbai Indians, who were looking to finish the tournament on a high note after being out of the playoffs race.
According to the reports, Yadav has sustained the injury during Mumbai’s thrilling five-run win over Gujarat Titans at the Brabourne Stadium on May 6 as well. However, he was one of the four retained players by the franchise before the 2022 IPL Mega Auction. On the other hand, Yadav on Monday was hopeful about his return and also thanked his fans for their good wishes and support as well.
“With all your wishes and support, I will be back in no time,” Suryakumar Yadav said in a tweet on Monday. “To my Mumbai Indians family, I will be cheering for you from the other side, this time. Let’s finish the tournament on a high note and display our true character on the field,” he further wrote in the tweet.
However, his support from outside did not help his side as Mumbai Indians were beaten by Kolkata Knight Riders by 52 runs. Meanwhile, he also missed Mumbai’s first two matches against Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals due to his recovery from a hairline fracture that he had earlier sustained while fielding in India’s home T20I series against West Indies at Kolkata in February this year as well.
Suryakumar Yadav had then gone to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for rehabilitation and recovery from his hairline fracture for over three weeks and later on, he joined his side for the cash-rich league as well. Yadav, however, was one of the positives for Mumbai Indians in their rather forgettable season, where he scored 303 runs in eight matches which came at an average of 43.29 and strike-rate of 145.67, including three half-centuries as well.
