3 players who can replace Suryakumar Yadav at Mumbai Indians
The right-handed batter scored a mere 270 runs at a strike-rate of 147.54, while averaging 20.76.
1. Naman Dhir
Naman Dhir did play in all 14 matches of the 2026 IPL season. However, if Suryakumar is unavailable for selection in 2027, the 26-year-old will have to take a lot more responsibility with the bat in the middle order. Throughout the season, Dhir batted at number three, where he scored 318 runs at a strike-rate of 147.22.
If MI are without the former India captain next season, they can promote captain-in-waiting Tilak Varma to bat at number three, something India does in T20I, and have Dhir bat at number four.
