Fans were left puzzled when Suryakumar Yadav didn’t start for MI and appeared only as an Impact Sub against KKR.
Social media buzzed with rumours about a possible problem with Suryakumar's drop, or was there trouble within the MI camp?
Don't create unwanted stories. There’s no issue; everyone’s happy in the camp. SKY had a slight groin strain and needed a few extra days to recover. He was still eager to play a few overs at the end. He said.
It was simply a minor fitness issue and workload management. After nonstop cricket, MI chose not to risk their key player early in IPL 2026.
Mumbai Indians cleverly used the Impact Player rule, holding SKY back and bringing him in at just the right moment during the chase.
No drama, just smart strategy. Expect a fully fit Suryakumar Yadav to make a big impact soon
