MUMBAI: In a setback to him, India’s dashing white-ball batter and most recent T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who will miss the upcoming T20I series against Afghanistan due to an ankle injury, is also set to miss the entire domestic season, and in most likely-hood the initial phase of the IPL after being afflicted by sports hernia, for which he will soon undergo surgery in Germany, TOI has reliably learnt.
“SKY was recently diagnosed with sports hernia. He is currently recuperating at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. In two-three days, he will fly for Munich, Germany, to get operated for it. It means that he certainly won’t be playing for Mumbai this season in the Ranji Trophy and is likely to miss the initial games for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL,” a source in the BCCI told this paper.
