Suryakumar Faces Severe Injury
Suryakumar Yadav sustained an injury during Mumbai’s preseason games at the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament in Coimbatore. It will prevent him from competing in the first round of the Duleep Trophy in 2024–25. In a match last week versus TNCA XI, he suffered an injury. He suffered a hand injury while fielding on the third day, therefore he did not bat in the second innings. He has been told to rest while recovering at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
Suryakumar amassed 5,628 runs at an average of 43.62 and 14 hundreds in his 82 first-class appearances. Red-ball cricket, according to the 33-year-old Indian T20 captain, is his top priority. He also talked about how he began playing red-ball cricket in those locations and about the local cricket he played in Mumbai. He declared that long-format cricket was his favorite sport. He talked about his lengthy history of participating in first-class matches for almost a decade and how much he still enjoys doing so.
Duleep Trophy Disappointment
Yadav informed NCA of his inability to pick up the trophy just before he was set to play for India C against India D in the opening round at Ananthapur on September 5–8. In a similar vein, Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium will host matches for India A and B. According to the Press Trust of India, Suryakumar suffered a hand injury. While fielding for Mumbai against Tamil Nadu in the just-finished Buchi Babu Tournament.
As a result, he is probably going to miss the opening round of the prestigious red-ball competition. Ruturaj Gaikwad will lead Team C, which includes Suryakumar. Due to illness, Team C has already lost the services of its speedy Umran Malik, and Suryakumar’s absence would further hamper their chances. The fact that Yadav was unable to compete in the Duleep Trophy would undoubtedly break his heart because he was hoping to return to the Indian Test team.
In a recent interview, Suryakumar expressed his wish to participate in all three formats. India A and India B will meet off at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. This competition will provide an opportunity for Indian players to be picked for the two-Test series against Bangladesh at home, which begins on September 19 in Chennai.
