Suryakumar Yadav is no longer available for the rest of the season. On the eve of MI’s game against KKR, Rohit Sharma & Co. bumped into an unfathomable news regarding Suryakumar Yadav. The dashing right-hand batter has suffered a left forearm muscle injury and has been ruled out of the competition. Yadav was replaced by Ramandeep Singh in the eleven against KKR who batted at No 4.

MI and their love affair with Kieron Pollard. Kieron Pollard has been nowhere near his best and MI courtesy of their love affair with the big West Indian has not dropped him for a single game. Pollard has been short of runs, his strike rate is pretty low and with the ball, he is nothing short of a miser this season. Despite his poor form, MI is backing him and it won’t be a surprise if he retains his spot in the eleven for this game.
