MI had a decent outing with the bat in their first game against Delhi Capitals. However, they were without their star players in Suryakumar Yadav for their previous fixture. 

In what will be a massive boost for MI, Suryakumar has regained his full fitness and will be available for their next match against Rajasthan Royals. The right-hander suffered an injury during the recently concluded West Indies series, following which he underwent rehab at NCA. 

He joined MI’s camp after completing his rehab and underwent three day’s isolation upon his arrival.  He also had a couple of quality net sessions after his quarantine  ahead of Saturday’s encounter. Heading into the game, the Rohit Sharma-led side will have all the players available except Jofra Archer, who will miss the entire tournament.
