India’s star cricketer, Suryakumar Yadav, is now benched due to an ankle ailment. This happened while he was on the field during their third T20I match against South Africa, rounding off their triple-header series.
On Saturday, December 23, Suryakumar posted a video on his Instagram. In it, he uses crutches to walk. Making light of his situation, a Bollywood dialogue overlays the video. It’s ‘Meri ek taang nakli hai’ from the film ‘Welcome’.
In the post’s caption, he wrote:
“On a slightly serious note, injuries are never fun, but I’ll take it in my stride and promise to be back, fully fit, in no time! ???? Till then, hope you all are enjoying the holiday season and finding little joys, everyday. ???? ✨.”

Claims say Suryakumar Yadav will notably pause his actions until February 2024 due to a significant Grade-II tear. The Indian Express unveiled this, noting the player will require a substantial healing time.
“He will take some time to recover. He will have to report to the National Cricket Academy later to do his rehabilitation. He is surely going to miss the Afghanistan series,” a source in the Indian board disclosed to The Indian Express.

There’s a chance Suryakumar won’t make India’s three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. But he could make a comeback at the 2024 T20 World Cup.
He’s a right-handed hitter, and he should be ready for the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). His last season was impressive with the Mumbai Indians (MI). He scored more runs than anyone else – 605 runs from 16 games averaging 43.21.
