Suryakumar Yadav’s Rehab Progressing Well, but Doubtful for First Two Games

According to a BCCI source speaking to PTI anonymously, Suryakumar Yadav’s rehabilitation is progressing well, and he is expected to make a comeback during the IPL season. However, there’s uncertainty regarding his clearance to play in the first two away games against Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 27. While Suryakumar has been actively sharing his Strength and Conditioning (S&C) routines on Instagram, he hasn’t posted any batting videos yet, which would provide a clearer insight into his readiness. Suryakumar’s last competitive match was a T20I against South Africa on December 14, and he missed the DY Patil T20 Cup, where Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan made their returns.
