IPL 2024: Suryakumar Yadav provides update on injury ahead of the tournament

Suryakumar Yadav last played for India in a three-match T20I series against South Africa in December 2023.

Indian cricketing sensation Suryakumar Yadav has provided a positive update on his recovery from a recent ankle injury and hernia issue, raising hopes for his participation in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and the much-awaited ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in June.

Yadav, who is No.1 batter in the ICC T20 rankings, sustained an ankle injury during three-match T20I series between South Africa and India. This was followed by a sports hernia diagnosis, where he underwent surgery on January 17.

Suryakumar Yadav underwent surgery in Munich, Germany, to address the hernia issue, sidelining him from domestic cricket, including the Ranji Trophy 2023-24 season, and potentially affecting his participation in the initial games of the IPL 2024 season for Mumbai Indians (MI).

These setbacks forced him to miss international matches and raised concerns about his availability for the IPL and the much-awaited T20 World Cup later this year.

The No. 1 T20 batter, Suryakumar Yadav, was spotted with his wife in Germany earlier, and SKY also provided an update on his Instagram and ‘X’ (formerly Twitter about his successful surgery.

“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,” Suryakumar said in a post on ‘X’ as he updated the fans about his surgery.
