Suryakumar Yadav has faced a recent dip in form, but Mumbai Indians’ captain Hardik Pandya and coach Mahela Jayawardene are not worried about his performance as they gear up for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL).

Both Pandya and Jayawardene have expressed confidence in Yadav’s abilities, citing his track record of scoring runs and being a match-winner for both India and Mumbai Indians. They believe that Yadav brings a lot of energy to the team and have enjoyed watching him play in recent practice games.

However, the introduction of the Impact Player rule in recent seasons has made it challenging for all-rounders like Pandya to secure a spot in the team if they are not considered a 50-50 all-rounder. Pandya acknowledges the difficulties posed by this rule but hopes that there may be changes in the future to encourage the development of more all-rounders in the team.

As Mumbai Indians prepare for the upcoming IPL season, they remain focused on Yadav’s potential and are optimistic about his contributions to the team. They believe in allowing him the freedom to enjoy his batting and are not overly concerned about his recent form.
