In the opening T20I, Hardik Pandya led the team to victory, wrapping up the innings impressively in the 12th over.

Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya in focus as Team India arrive in Delhi | India vs Bangladesh

In the opening T20I, Hardik Pandya led the team to victory, wrapping up the innings impressively in the 12th over.

Suryakumar Yadav's young Team India has arrived in New Delhi for their second T20I against Bangladesh. After a decisive seven-wicket victory in the first match in Gwalior, a win in the capital would secure the series for India. This triumph would also mark India's ninth consecutive T20I win and their third straight bilateral series victory in this format.
In the opening T20I, Hardik Pandya led the team to victory, wrapping up the innings impressively in the 12th over. A video shared by ANI on X captured the players as they exited the airport and boarded their team buses. The first match also saw the international debuts of fast bowler Mayank Yadav and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy. However, the squad is missing several regulars, including Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Jasprit Bumrah, who are being rested in light of the ongoing Indian Test season.

In a brief telephonic conversation with PTI, the Mumbaikar was modest about his role in India's title triumph. Rohit Sharma's men defeated a dangerous South Africa by seven runs in the summit clash in Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday.

Suryakumar Yadav adds his name to the elusive list with match-defining catch in T20 World Cup final

In a brief telephonic conversation with PTI, the Mumbaikar was modest about his role in India's title triumph. Rohit Sharma's men defeated a dangerous South Africa by seven runs in the summit clash in Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday.

"It was god's plan," Suryakumar Yadav said on Monday as he reminisced his incredible match-defining catch in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa, which is being lauded across the board as the perfect execution of athleticism, balance and game awareness.
In a brief telephonic conversation with PTI, the Mumbaikar was modest about his role in India's title triumph. Rohit Sharma's men defeated a dangerous South Africa by seven runs in the summit clash in Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday.
"I am just grateful to be in that moment to do something special for the country...god's plan it was," Suryakumar said when asked about the catch that has become a standout moment from the game.
Needing 16 runs from the final over, South Africa had the big-hitting David Miller on strike.
He hit a wide full toss from Hardik Pandya but Suryakumar steadied himself on the ropes, caught the ball, released it just as he went over the boundary ropes and then came back in to complete an astonishing catch.
For many old-time fans, it brought back memories of the brilliant catch that Kapil Dev took in the 1983 World Cup final against the mighty West Indies. Kapil had run sideways from mid-on to grab a top edge from the great Viv Richards off Madan Lal's bowling in a fine display of sound judgement.
On Saturday, the 33-year-old Suryakumar ensured that his name too will be remembered fondly every time an Indian fan recollects the see-saw finale in Bridgetown.
Before that, the equation was 30 runs from as many balls but South Africa bungled in a typical fashion with Hardik Pandya triggering the collapse, dismissing a well-set Heinrich Klaasen for 52.
The Proteas went on to lose four wickets for 17 runs to be restricted to 169/8 in pursuit of 177.
Suryakumar's decision-making and awareness were also applauded by India's fielding coach T Dilip.
"When the moment comes, it's his decision and awareness of rope, that's very important, and knowing with confidence that he can throw and come back, it's a decision-making at that time, and he got on to that," Dilip had said.
"We fielded like a pack of wolves, as Rahul bhai and Rohit keep saying... Everybody knew their roles but together we hunted every opportunity that came our way leaving no stone unturned," he added.
The title conquest ended an 11-year wait for an ICC title for India.
The side is currently stranded in Bridgetown due to a category 4 hurricane that has pounded the island leading to a complete shutdown of air services.

Get Surya out there and if he can bat for 10-15 overs, you know what's going to happen

Brian Lara wants Suryakumar Yadav to bat at Virat Kohli's position in T20 World Cup 2024

Legendary cricketer Brian Lara had his say about Suryakumar Yadav's batting position at the T20 World Cup next month. Interestingly, it is Virat Kohli's position in the batting order

<h2>Get Surya out there and if he can bat for 10-15 overs, you know what's going to happen</h2>

Legendary cricketer Brian Lara had his say about Suryakumar Yadav's batting position at the T20 World Cup next month.
India have expectedly retained proven performers like skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the squad, while deciding to keep young talent like Shubman Gill and Rinku Singh among reserves. Suryakumar, though, is part of the main squad.
"My one advice, and I don't know if you're going to like it or not, but Sky has to bat at three. He just has to bat at three. He is one of the greatest T20 players in the game. And you speak to players like Sir Viv, and he will tell you he used to want to get out there in the middle," Lara said in an interaction with PTI editors at its headquarters which was facilitated by Star Sports.
"And I feel that that's the same thing with SKY. So, get in on it as quickly as possible. He's not an opener, get him out there and if he can bat for 10-15 overs, you know what's going to happen.
"He's going to put you in an unassailable position if you bat him first, or he's going to win the game if he's batting second. And then let everybody sort of position themselves outside of that, but a good structure is important," he explained.
Suryakumar usually bats at number four for India and Kohli at three. Kohli opening the innings alongside Rohit to accommodate Surya at three is an option which will leave Yashasvi Jaiswal on the bench.
"Just find a way to make Suryakumar bat at three," stressed Lara.
Lara, who is doing commentary in the IPL, said India doing well could also culminate in a final showdown with West Indies, which would make up for the disaster that was the 2007 ODI World Cup where India made a preliminary round exit.
"The West Indies should do well. They have a lot of individual stars and when they come together as a team they do well. India, with all their cry over selection, they find themselves in the top four.
"England they seem to enjoy Caribbean a lot, lay on the beach a lot. England will be there and fourth spot, Afghanistan, they are capable of getting into the four," he said.
"India and West Indies final is going to make up for so much wrong that has happened in the past. India missing out in 2007 in second round, that killed us in the Caribbean. We don't want that to happen again. So, India and West Indies in the final and may the best team win," he added.
India have picked four spinners in the squad, including Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja, the last two being all-rounders. Lara sees only a couple of them playing in the eleven.
"In terms of spinners, I don't want to dig too deep into having four spinners because I don't think you're going to play four spinners. But I like the fact that Chahal is there. He is not just an IPL star. You look at him, oh, you look at the brains that he put behind the ball, the deliveries, he's out-thinking the batter.
"And also, Kuldeep. So, I see those guys are guys who are going to get wickets for you, not just look to restrain the battle or scared to bowl an attacking delivery." Asked about the two finalists of the World Cup, Lara picked India and West Indies.
The talk around Kohli's strike rate has been incessant but Lara reckons players like him are needed in the playing eleven.
"You have to have a player like Virat in the playing eleven," Lara added.

With Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, vice-captain Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav playing, there was a lot to look forward to as far as the T20 World Cup was concerned

IPL 2024, MI vs SRH: Suryakumar Yadav storm hits Wankhede, Mumbai thrash Hyderabad by 7 wickets

Mumbai Indians might have been all but out of IPL 2024 but the 5-time IPL champions pushed SRH into a muddle by thrashing them by 7 wickets on Monday.

Mumbai Indians might be all but out of IPL 2024 but the 5-time IPL champions pushed the Sunrisers Hyderabad into a muddle by thrashing them by 7 wickets on Monday.
With Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, vice-captain Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav playing, there was a lot to look forward to as far as the T20 World Cup was concerned.
Hardik's decision to bowl first proved right as Mumbai restricted SRH to 173/8 at the Wankhede Stadium. MI skipper impressed with the ball and picked 3 wickets. Piyush Chawla too chipped in with 3 scalps.
However, Mumbai's run-chase began on a disastrous note as they lost 3 wickets with just 31 runs on the board. Rohit disappointed once again and was out for 4, his 5th consecutive failure.
That's when Surya walked in and turned the game on its head. He went on to score an unbeaten 102 off just 51 balls, his 2nd IPL hundred.
Sky was well supported by Tilak Varma, as the two took Mumbai over the finish line with a 143-run stand and 16 balls to spare.
While Mumbai ended its 4-match losing run, the Sunrisers have now lost 3 of their last 4 games.

Suryakumar Yadav fulfilled a differently-abled fan's wish to meet India skipper Rohit Sharma during a training session at the Wankhede.

PBKS vs MI IPL 2024: Suryakumar Yadav smashes 78 but Harshal Patel's brilliant final over keeps Mumbai under 200

The early loss of Ishan Kishan could have spelled trouble for Mumbai, but Suryakumar Yadav, alongside Rohit Sharma, steadied the ship with a crucial 81-run partnership. 


<h2>Tilak Varma and Tim David threatened to take Mumbai past 200, but Harshal Patel bowled a brilliant final over, managing 2 wickets and a runout to restrict the visitors to 192.</h2>

The Mumbai Indians managed to put up an impressive score of 192 against the Punjab Kings, largely thanks to a standout performance from Suryakumar Yadav. Yadav, who came into the game with a patchy form from his last three matches, emerged as the top scorer for his team, knocking a solid 78 runs off just 53 deliveries.
The early loss of Ishan Kishan could have spelled trouble for Mumbai, but Surya, alongside Rohit Sharma, steadied the ship with a crucial 81-run partnership. This alliance not only stabilized their innings but also injected the momentum needed after the early setback. Rohit, contributing a substantial 36 runs, laid a solid foundation before his dismissal.
Despite Rohit's departure, Surya continued his aggressive play. Although he fell short of a century, his significant contribution of 78 runs was instrumental in pushing Mumbai Indians towards a competitive total. His performance was particularly noteworthy as it marked a return to form for the dynamic batsman, who had not performed up to his usual standards in the initial matches of the season.
Tilak Varma, coming in after Rohit, proved to be an effective partner for Yadav. Varma played a brisk innings, ending the innings unbeaten at 34 runs from just 18 balls, which included some critical boundaries that further accelerated the Mumbai Indians' score towards the end of their innings. Tim David also made a valuable contribution with a quick cameo, adding to the team's total in the crucial final stages of their batting effort.
However, the Mumbai Indians were denied a chance to breach the 200-run mark by Harshal Patel's exceptional performance in the final over of the innings. Patel, delivering a masterclass in death bowling, managed to claim two vital wickets and a run-out in the last over. His efforts were pivotal in ensuring that the Mumbai Indians did not breach the coveted 200-run mark.

Surya revealed that apart from sports hernia for which he had to undergo a surgery and an ankle problem, he also endured an injury to his right knee.

Was sidelined with 3 injuries, worked to become better version of myself: Suryakumar Yadav | IPL 2024

Suryakumar Yadav on Wednesday revealed that he battled 3 different injuries in the past three months but worked hard to become a "better version" of himself.

Surya revealed that apart from sports hernia for which he had to undergo a surgery and an ankle problem, he also endured an injury to his right knee.

India and Mumbai Indians batter Suryakumar Yadav on Wednesday revealed that he battled 3 different injuries in the past three months but worked hard to become a "better version" of himself while going through a "boring" recovery process.
The world No.1 T20 batter, who made his comeback last week in the Indian Premier League, revealed that apart from sports hernia for which he had to undergo a surgery and an ankle problem, he also endured an injury to his right knee.
"I had two-three niggles together, sports hernia, ankle and then right knee. I had to take one step at a time, follow the small things and here I am, really happy to be on the ground," Yadav said in a video released by IPL.
The 33-year-old said it was "boring" for him to follow the same routine during rehab work at the start but he decided to make the most of the opportunity.
"It's actually a little difficult to describe the last three (or) three-and-a-half months. It was difficult, the first two-three weeks, because I felt (it was) very boring doing the same things again and again (in) the rehab," he said.
"But (by) the fourth-fifth week, I realised that it is important going forward." A conversation with his wife was helpful in giving him perspective.
"When I spoke to my wife and all the people at NCA, they said it has to be a second version of yourself, you have to be a little different when you come back on the field. I started doing all those small things like sleeping on time, following a good diet &mdash; that was most important," he added.
Yadav said time away from the game helped him focus on aspects he had neglected and that helped him recover faster.
"I (had) never read a book in my life and I started doing that as well. Getting up in the morning, spending a good quality time at the rehab centre and focusing on everything, connecting myself, my brain and my body with the rehab and it helped me really well to recover a little faster," he said.
"I wanted to be a better version of myself, when I got injured, I realised what were the things I wanted to work on. I got 2-3 months to work on myself in terms of fitness and on my body as well,&rdquo; he said.
'SKY' lauded the coaches and staff at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru for understanding and supporting him in his recovery phase, even when he did not like the grind.
"I am really grateful to the support staff at NCA, everyone, right from trainers to physios who took care of me right from the morning. They took everything, whatever I said.
"A few days I was feeling angry to do the rehab but then they took that in their stride and understood really well how I wanted to work," he said.
Yadav, who had faced trouble clearing his fitness tests at NCA at the initial stage of this IPL, said he never felt he was not around the Mumbai Indians' team.
"My whole cricketing journey started from here and when I entered the hotel and the ground, it never felt (like) that I (had) left this place," he said.
"The first day when I did my practice session with the boys and everyone around, it felt that I was here since the IPL started." However, Yadav admitted he could not watch IPL matches since he followed a strict routine.
"It is always difficult when your team is playing and you are sitting in the room and watching. I cannot say that I did not watch the games, I watched half of the games as I was sleeping on time when I was in Bangalore, at about 10:30pm-10:45pm," he said.
"It was difficult but at the same time, it gave me a lot of motivation and inspiration that yes, they are playing there and I have to work really hard on myself and my recovery and get there as soon as possible," he added.

Yadav has been out of action since December owing to multiple injuries including a sports hernia and an ankle injury. 


IPL 2024: Good news for Hardik & Co! Suryakumar Yadav joins Mumbai camp

Yadav has been out of action since December owing to multiple injuries including a sports hernia and an ankle injury.&nbsp;

In a big boost for struggling Mumbai Indians, world number one T20 batter Suryakumar Yadav trained with the team in Mumbai on Friday after a long injury layoff and unleashed his trademark shots without any visible discomfort, raising hopes that he could compete in the team's next IPL match against Delhi Capitals.
Five-time champions Mumbai Indians are languishing at the bottom of the 10-team table, having lost all three matches so far and if Suryakumar plays, the Hardik Pandya-led team will hope that his presence helps them with the anticipated turnaround.
The 33-old aggressive batter has been out of action since the South Africa series late last year. He underwent a surgery to treat sports hernia and was also nursing an ankle injury which he had sustained during India's tour of South Africa late last year.
Suryakumar was the first to arrive for the training session at the Wankhede Stadium, more than an hour before his teammates came for the afternoon session.
Suryakumar walked into one of the two nets and batted for more than an hour, not looking to exert himself but getting his body in rhythm and getting his strokes going a few days after he was given the clearance to join the Mumbai Indians' squad by the National Cricket Academy (NCA) staff.
The right-handed batter unleashed strokes in all parts of the ground while batting against throwdown specialists and MI spinner Kumar Kartikeya. He hit the ball exactly the way he wanted, middling most of his strokes and also practiced his trademark flick shot over the fine-leg region.
The team is coming off a short break after taking a trip to Jamnagar following its third straight loss in the ongoing tournament, the last one being a six-wickets defeat Rajasthan Royals on April 1.
Meanwhile, in the adjacent nets, Delhi Capitals and Australia batter David Warner had a long hit among the others. Mumbai's Ranji Trophy bowler Mohit Awasthi was also seen bowling to the Delhi Capitals' batters during their training.

Suryakumar had undergone multiple surgeries -- one for grade 2 ankle tear and another for sports hernia -- and he last played in the T20 series in South Africa.

Suryakumar Yadav update: MI batter clears most fitness tests, likely to play on this date | IPL 2024

Mumbai Indians will soon get the much required batting boost as the world's No.1 ranked T20 batter Suryakumar Yadav has cleared almost all the fitness tests. This is when he is expected to return

Suryakumar had undergone multiple surgeries -- one for grade 2 ankle tear and another for sports hernia -- and he last played in the T20 series in South Africa.

Mumbai Indians will soon get the much required batting boost as the world's No.1 ranked T20 batter Suryakumar Yadav has cleared almost all the fitness tests at the National Cricket Academy and is very close to playing his first IPL game of the season.
Suryakumar had undergone multiple surgeries -- one for grade 2 ankle tear and another for sports hernia -- and he last played in the T20 series in South Africa.
"Surya has cleared all but one routine tests which are mandatory to get RTP (Return To Play) certificate from the NCA. There is one more test left to be conducted on Thursday, after which a clearer picture would emerge," a senior BCCI source told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
"He is batting comfortably and has done all simulations," he added.
Asked if Suryakumar will be able to play the Mumbai Indians' home game on April 7 against Delhi Capitals, the source said: "The clearer picture will emerge after tomorrow's tests. There's still three days before the next game but since it's a comeback after a long time, it could also be April 11 at home against RCB."
The swashbuckling batter has been MI's most prolific performer for the past four to five seasons and his absence from the playing XI has been felt by the team that has lost its first three matches this season.
His replacement Naman Dhir, the player from Punjab, is yet to measure up and beleaguered skipper Hardik Pandya would certainly need 'Mr 360 degree' to stem the rot.
As far as the BCCI's medical team is concerned, the clear mandate was to ensure that India's premier T20 batter is completely fit for the T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies, and also make sure that there are no premature breakdowns during the IPL.

The world's top-ranked batter in the shortest format, Suryakumar Yadav, is currently recovering from a sports hernia surgery, with his rehab being monitored by the NCA. 

IPL 2024 MI news: Suryakumar Yadav to miss more matches for Mumbai Indians

The Mumbai Indians will be without their star batter Suryakumar Yadav for a few more matches at least.

#SuryakumarYadav #MI #IPL2024

<h2>The world's top-ranked batter in the shortest format, Suryakumar Yadav, is currently recovering from a sports hernia surgery, with his rehab being monitored by the NCA.&nbsp;</h2>

The Mumbai Indians will be without their star batter Suryakumar Yadav for a few more matches at least. Currently ranked as the world's top T20 batsman, Surya is in the final stages of recovery from a sports hernia surgery, with his rehabilitation being closely monitored by the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
The absence of Surya has been felt by the Mumbai Indians, who have experienced defeats in their opening two matches of the season. Despite the setback, there is optimism about his return to the field. "Surya is making very good progress and very soon he will be back playing for MI. However, he might have to sit out for a few more games, having missed the first two," disclosed a BCCI source to PTI.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is taking a cautious approach with Surya's comeback. Given his crucial role in the Indian team, especially with the T20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies on the horizon in June, the board is prioritizing his full recovery. "For BCCI, the main concern is if he is on course for World T20 which he is. Obviously he will play for MI but after a sports hernia surgery, he can't be rushed," the source added.
Surya, aged 33, is renowned for his explosive batting style, often drawing comparisons with the legendary A B de Villiers due to his versatile shot-making abilities. Boasting an impressive strike rate of 171.55 in T20s, his contributions are vital for both Mumbai Indians and the national team. With 60 T20I appearances, he has amassed 2141 runs, including four centuries.
The Mumbai Indians are scheduled to face the Rajasthan Royals in their next match, which will also be their first home game of the season, on Monday.

The world No 1 T20 batter Suryakumar has been stationed at the NCA in Bengaluru for his recovery and rehabilitation following a surgery for sports hernia.

No NCA clearance for Suryakumar Yadav yet, batter to miss Mumbai Indians' opener | IPL 2024

The world No 1 T20 batter Suryakumar has been stationed at the NCA in Bengaluru for his recovery and rehabilitation following a surgery for sports hernia.

Star batter Suryakumar Yadav is certain to miss Mumbai Indians' IPL opener against Gujarat Titans on March 24 as he is yet to get fitness clearance from the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
The world no. 1 T20 batter Suryakumar has been stationed at the NCA in Bengaluru for his recovery and rehabilitation following a surgery for sports hernia.
Suryakumar, who has been out of action since December, had a fitness test at the NCA on Tuesday but PTI understands that the 33-year-old needs "further assessment".
Suryakumar will be assessed once again on Thursday.
His participation in the subsequent matches for Mumbai Indians &mdash; against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 27, Rajasthan Royals on April 1 and Delhi Capitals on April 7 &mdash; would be determined at a later stage.
Suryakumar on Tuesday posted a cryptic message on his Instagram page conveying a &lsquo;heartbreak&rsquo;.
Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, are occupied with closed-door practice games in Mumbai at the Wankhede Stadium.

It's still not clear whether NCA will give clearance to play in the first two away games: a BCCI source told PTI

Suryakumar Yadav update: Rehab on track but will Sky be available for Mumbai Indians' first 2 games?

It's still not clear whether Suryakumar Yadav will be available for the first 2 games for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024. Here is what BCCI sources told PTI.

It's still not clear whether NCA will give clearance to play in the first two away games: a BCCI source told PTI

India's ace T20 batter Suryakumar Yadav is currently undergoing rehabilitation at Bengaluru's National Cricket Academy post an ankle surgery but it is still not clear whether he will be available for the first 2 games for the Mumbai Indians in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL).
MI will start its campaign on March 24, against last year's runners-up Gujarat Titans, and it is a race against time for the world No. 1 T20 batter, who is working hard at the NCA to get back to peak match fitness.
"Surya's rehabilitation is on track and he will certainly 'Return to Play' in the IPL itself. However it is still not clear whether the NCA's Sports Science and Medical Team will give clearance to play in the first two away games against Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad (March 27)," a BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity.
If one goes by Surya's Instagram handle, he has been seen doing a lot of Strength and Conditioning (S&amp;C) routines but he hasn't yet uploaded any of his batting videos, which will give a fair indication of how he is shaping up.
"There are still 12 days to go before MI play their first game but it could be a race against time to get fit by the first match itself," the source said.
Surya is the most vital player in India's T20 set-up with a strike-rate of 171-plus and 2,141 runs in 60 T20 games. He has four T20I hundreds to his credit.
Much of India's chances in the T20 World Cup in the Americas (USA and West Indies) will depend on how Surya plays. And even for MI to have a successful campaign, Surya's availability from the start is paramount.
Surya last played in South Africa, where he led the national team in the T20 format.

Suryakumar Yadav was once again in some form in T20Is as he racked up more than 700 runs in 2023 which included two centuries. SKY wins the T20I Cricketer of the Year award for the second time in a row.

Flamboyant middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav has been named the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year 2023. Yesterday, ICC announced the 2023 men's T20I team of the year on Monday, 22 January and named Suryakumar Yadav as the captain of the side. 4 Indian cricketers including Ravi Bishnoi and Arshdeep Singh were named in the side.

Suryakumar Yadav had a sensational 2023 in the T20I format and was the top run scorer among the full-time nations. Suryakumar scored 733 runs from 18 matches and hit two terrific centuries. Yadav's latest century came while playing against South Africa where he hit a century off just 56 balls.&nbsp;
The most memorable moment for SKY this year was his 51-ball 112* performance against Sri Lanka. In just 45 balls, he smashed a century, making him the second-fastest Indian centurion in history.
Suryakumar Yadav flourished despite the burden of captaincy, taking the reins of a young side towards the end of the year.
With that, Suryakumar Yadav also became the first Men's cricketer to win the ICC T20I Player of the Year award twice. SKY won the same award in 2022.
He overcame the challenge of Sikandar Raza, Alpesh Ramjani and Mark Chapman to take the award home.

Star India cricketer Suryakumar Yadav on Wednesday said that he underwent a surgery after suffering from sports hernia.
The world's leading batter in T20Is got injured during the tour of South Africa last month. He underwent the operation in Germany and his full recovery will take at least a month.
"Surgery done. I want to thank everyone for their concerns and well wishes for my health, and I am happy to tell you all that I will be back very soon," he wrote on X (Formerly Twitter).
Surya is likely to make a comeback during the IPL which will precede the T20 World Cup in West Indies and the USA. He holds key to India's plans as the team looks to end the ICC title drought in the mega event in June.

Medical evaluations on Suryakumar Yadav's ankle have raised concerns about a possible tear, which could necessitate a recovery period of up to six weeks.

<h2>Medical evaluations on Suryakumar Yadav's ankle have raised concerns about a possible tear, which could necessitate a recovery period of up to six weeks.</h2>

Suryakumar Yadav is set to miss the upcoming T20I series against Afghanistan, commencing on January 11, due to an ankle injury. The 31-year-old sustained the injury during India's recent series against South Africa, where he twisted his ankle while fielding in Johannesburg. Medical evaluations have raised concerns about a possible tear, which could necessitate a recovery period of up to six weeks.
A BCCI source, speaking to PTI on the condition of anonymity, revealed, "Surya has reported to NCA for rehab work and the Medical Science team has deemed him injured. He's out of the Afghanistan series starting in three weeks. As he's not expected to feature in Tests, we anticipate his return for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy come February, ahead of the IPL."
Furthermore, there are doubts about Hardik Pandya's availability for the series, as his recovery from an ankle injury seems uncertain. "There's no new update on Hardik's fitness, and his participation before the IPL remains a major doubt," added the source.
With both Suryakumar and Hardik sidelined, the selectors may consider asking Rohit Sharma to captain the team. Alternatively, they might look to Ravindra Jadeja as a temporary leader for the series. However, Jadeja's involvement in all five Tests against England means his workload will need careful management.
The team also faces another setback as Asian Games skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, who suffered a broken finger, is ruled out of the series.
In the wicketkeeping department, Jitesh Sharma is expected to take over duties against Afghanistan. Ishan Kishan, who recently withdrew from the South Africa Tests citing "personal reasons," may not be available. His absence could be linked to prioritizing mental health after a year of continuous cricket.
A BCCI official commented on Kishan's decision, stating, "The BCCI respects a player's privacy, and no one will probe into Kishan's reasons for skipping the Tests. It's possible that after Rahul's announcement as the Test keeper, he preferred not to stay on. The inconsistency in selection can indeed be taxing."

Mumbai Indians have been <a title="receiving a lot of backlash" href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/mumbai-indians-lose-400k-followers-in-an-hour-after-hardik-pandya-replacing-rohit-sharma-announcement-1702703025860">receiving a lot of backlash</a> ever since they removed Rohit Sharma as skipper and appointed Hardik Pandya as the new captain for IPL 2024.
It seems that not just fans but Suryakumar Yadav was also not happy with the decision. The 33-year-old, who plays for MI, posted a cryptic Instagram story after the announcement.
Sky started his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians in 2011 but was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2014. However, MI brought him back home in 2018 and since then he has been one of the pillars for Mumbai.
Surya was also handed over Team India T20I captaincy after the Cricket World Cup. Under him, India defeated Australia 4-1 at home and then went on to draw the 3-match T20I series 1-1 in South Africa.
Hardik Pandya on the other hand, left MI ahead of IPL 2022 and was picked by the Gujarat Titans ahead of the mega auction. GT won the IPL title in its very first season under Hardik and also went on to play the final in 2023.
However, MI traded back Hardik in an all-cash deal ahead of IPL 2024 auction and have now put their trust in him to lead the team going forward.
As for Rohit, he opted to not play white-ball cricket for a while after India lost the Cricket World Cup final in November.
Under him, MI won 5 IPL titles and become one of the most destructive teams in the competition.

In the third over, Suryakumar tried to stop a shot from Reeza Hendricks off Mohammed Siraj in the outfield but hurt his ankle while collecting the ball.

Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav gives huge injury update after India vs South Africa 3rd T20I

India&rsquo;s series-levelling 106-run win over South Africa on Thursday had a juddering note to it as captain Suryakumar Yadav stayed away from the field with a hurt ankle.
In the third over, Suryakumar tried to stop a shot from Reeza Hendricks off Mohammed Siraj in the outfield but hurt his ankle while collecting the ball.
Sky immediately clutched his ankle and limped out of the field with the assistance of the team's physio.
He never returned to the field for the rest of the match as vice-captain Ravindra Jadeja marshalled the side for the rest of the match, in which left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav (5/17), the birthday boy, bagged his best T20I figures to give India a thrilling victory.
Chasing 202 for a win, SA were all out for 95 in 13.5 overs.
The Indian fans might have had their hearts in their mouths even though Suryakumar&rsquo;s SA tour ended with this T20I series, as he was not a part of either ODI or Test squads.
However, the 33-year-old, who was adjudged player of the match and the series, later eased some of those nerves while attending the post-match presentation.
&ldquo;I am good. I am walking, so it is good. It is not that serious,&rdquo; he told the host broadcaster when asked about the status of his ankle.
"It was wonderful scoring a hundred, and especially when it comes in a winning cause.
"One box we wanted to tick was play fearless brand of cricket. Really happy the boys showed a lot of character." Talking about Kuldeep, he said, "He (Kuldeep) is never happy with a three-for or a four-for. A perfect self birthday present." Kuldeep turned 29 on Thursday.

Just after he scored his 4th T20I century, Suryakumar Yadav limped off the field after injuring himself during India's fielding.

Just after he scored his 4th T20I century, Suryakumar Yadav limped off the field after injuring himself during India's fielding.&nbsp;

Just after his blazing ton in the first innings, India captain Suryakumar Yadav was rendered out of action following a fielding mishap. In the 3rd over, while attempting to stop the ball off Reeza Hendricks' bat, Yadav seemingly twisted his leg and rushed to the ropes where he was tended to by the team physiotherapist. The skipper was visibly in pain and had to be carried back to the dugout as Ravindra Jadeja took over the captaincy duties.

With a total of 865 rating points, Suryakumar Yadav stands significantly ahead of his closest competitors, Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan (787) and Aiden Markram of South Africa (758).

<h2>With a total of 865 rating points, Suryakumar Yadav stands significantly ahead of his closest competitors, Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan (787) and Aiden Markram of South Africa (758).</h2>

Suryakumar Yadav, the No. 1 T20I batter, further solidified his leading position in the ICC Men's T20I Batter Rankings. This came following his dynamic performance against South Africa in the second T20I held in Gqeberha. Yadav's rapid half-century extended his lead at the top.
Yadav, an aggressive right-handed batsman, added 10 rating points to his tally after his impressive innings of 56 runs off 36 balls, notwithstanding India's narrow defeat by five wickets in the thrilling match.
With a total of 865 rating points, Yadav stands significantly ahead of his closest competitors, Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan, who holds 787 points, and Aiden Markram of South Africa, with 758 points. This substantial lead comes as the ICC Men's T20 World Cup is less than six months away.
Yadav first attained the top spot in the rankings during the last T20 World Cup in Australia. Given his current form, it seems likely that he will maintain this position in the upcoming World Cup scheduled to take place in the West Indies and USA.
In the meantime, South African opener Reeza Hendricks has climbed to the eighth position after scoring 49 runs against India. Indian players Tilak Varma and Rinku Singh have also risen in the rankings, now standing at 55th and 59th positions, respectively.
On the bowling front, Afghanistan's Rashid Khan has risen to the top of the T20I bowlers' rankings, a position he now shares with India's Ravi Bishnoi, who was not selected for the South Africa tour.
South African spinner Tabraiz Shamsi also witnessed a significant rise, now ranked 10th after his economical performance of 1/18 in the recent match. Indian left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav has moved up to the 32nd position, while Aiden Markram has ascended to second place in the T20I all-rounder rankings, trailing behind India's Ravindra Jadeja.
The Test rankings have also seen notable changes following the exhilarating Bangladesh-New Zealand series, which concluded in a 1-1 draw. Glenn Phillips, who was named Player of the Match, leaped from outside the top 100 to 55th in the batting rankings and climbed 42 places to 24th among all-rounders.
New Zealand's Ajaz Patel and Bangladesh's Mehidy Hasan and Nayeem Hasan also made impressive strides in the Test bowlers' rankings, further intensifying the competition behind the top-ranked bowler, Ravichandran Ashwin.

Watch: Suryakumar Yadav thanks Team India fans after devastating World Cup loss, vows to win next time

The 33-year-old from Mumbai also thanked the fans for their support throughout the tournament.

Suryakumar Yadav on Saturday expressed his gratitude towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his motivational words following India's heart-breaking World Cup loss and said the team will continue to play with the same spirit going into next year's T20 World Cup.
India's dream of winning the ODI World Cup after 12 years came crashing down after they went down by six wickets against Australia in the final last Sunday.
In a heartwarming gesture, PM Modi visited the team's dressing room and consoled the players.
"Just after the World Cup final we were sitting in the dressing room and our Prime Minister Narendra Modi came in and gave us motivation," said Surya, who is currently leading the Indian team in the five-match T20 series against Australia.
"He met everyone and told us to move on, as it happens in sport and we will have to take it in our stride.
"It will take some time for us to get over it but his motivational words for those 5-6 minutes and meeting us is a big thing as he is the country&rsquo;s leader. We listened to him carefully, spent time with him and will try to follow his suggestions." India will have another chance to claim an ICC event when the T20 World Cup takes place in the West Indies and the US next year.
"We will try to do well in the upcoming tournaments and there is an ICC event coming up next year and we will play with the same spirit as this time and hopefully we will win," said Surya.
The 33-year-old from Mumbai also thanked the fans for their support throughout the tournament.
"It has been just 4-5 days since the World Cup got over and all are disappointed, we are also disappointed. But it was great to see the support of our fans in India and all over the world.
"At the end of the day, it is a sport and it teaches us a lot of things. I want to say that keep supporting us."
