IPL 2024 has been nothing less than a nightmare for Mumbai Indians so far. Hardik Pandya’s team has not been able to open the winning account yet. However, after consecutive wins and losses, there was some good news for the team: the team’s most reliable batsman Suryakumar Yadav is fully fit. He has also joined the Mumbai Indians. According to the report, Surya will be in the starting XI against Delhi on April 7.
If Suryakumar returns, many players will be removed from the XI. They include experienced leg-spinner Piyush Chawla, Naman Dheer, who plays at number three, young fast bowler Kwena Mafaka and explosive batsman Dewald Brewis. All four players can now be shown the door. All four of these players have not performed as expected so far.
Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi, Sri Lanka fast bowler Nuwan Thosehara and leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal can be included in the playing XI for the match against Delhi Capitals on Sunday, April 7. These three players have not yet played a game. Sohara is said to be a clone of former legend Lasith Malinga. Most recently, Thosehara had taken five wickets, including a hat-trick in T20 International. His action is hurling like Malinga.
We tell you that the Mumbai Indians team is at the bottom tenth position in the points table. Mumbai have lost two away games and one home game so far this season. The team still has to play the next three games at home. After Delhi, Hardik Pandya’s team will face RCB and Chennai Super Kings.
Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Tim David, Mohammad Nabi, Shreyas Gopal, Akash Madhwal, Jasprit Bumrah and Nuwan Thosehara.
