Suryakumar Yadav’s recovery is on track but there is still no guarantee that he would be able to take part in Mumbai Indians’ first two matches in IPL 2024. If one goes by the current status of the right-handed batter, then chances are slim.

Surya, who has been out of action since December last year, is currently at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru undergoing his rehabilitation. He was suffering from sports hernia and had to go under the knife in January in Germany.

Mumbai Indians will start its campaign on Sunday, March 24 – two days after the IPL 2024 tournament opener between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore against last year’s runners-up Gujarat Titans, and it is a race against time for the world No. 1 T20 batter.

According to a BCCI source, the NCA medical team might not give clearance to Surya to take part in the first two matches of this season’s IPL.
