India and Mumbai Indians batter Suryakumar Yadav has been declared fit and will be joining his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise soon. The batter has been out since injuring his ankle in T20I series against South Africa in December last year. He was initially set to be out for seven weeks but a hernia operation after ankle injury delayed his return.
The batter, however, has now been cleared to play by the National Cricket Academy (NCA). The news was also confirmed by a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) source to the news outlet Indian Express.

“He is fit now. The NCA made him play a few practice games and he looked good. He can join the Mumbai Indians team. We wanted to be sure that when Surya goes back to MI, he is 100 per cent fit and ready to play games. He wasn’t feeling 100% during his first fitness Test before the IPL, so we waited to see if there was any pain while he was batting,” said the source.
He may feature in MI's next match on April 5 against Delhi Capitals. His return might help turn around Mumbai's fortuneasthey have lost three games in a row. Mumbai currently sit last on the 10-team points table.
In their first match of the season, MI failed to chase a modest total of 169 against Gujarat Titans. In the next match, Sunrisers Hyderabad annihilated MI by hitting 277/5. Mumbai valiantly tried to achieveSRH's target but eventually fell short by 31 runs.
