MI has missed Suryakumar Yadav a lot in their last 3 matches. However, there is good news for MI before the fourth match. Number-1 batsman in T20 Suryakumar Yadav is making a comeback in the league.
Why is Surya important for Mumbai?
Suryakumar Yadav is the backbone of Mumbai Indians. In his absence, MI's middle order looks very weak. After Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan in the top order, Naman Dheer, Dewald Brevis, Tilak Verma and Tim David are coming to bat. With the return of Surya, the middle order of the team will be very strong. Apart from scoring runs fast in the middle order, he is also capable of batting carefully. He can adapt himself to the circumstances. He has experience of 139 matches in IPL. Sky ruined the plans of the bowlers with his strange short.

During this period he has scored 21 half-centuries and 1 century. Suryakumar Yadav's highest score in IPL is 103 runs not out. Even in the last season, Sky's bat was on fire. In IPL 2023, Suryakumar scored 605 runs at an average of 43.21 and an excellent strike rate of 181.14. Last season Sky had scored 5 half-centuries and 1 century.
