The league matches in the IPL series have almost reached the final stage. Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans are in the top two with 16 points respectively.
With the Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians currently clashing in their 55th league match, the chances of a play-off round extending to all teams other than the Mumbai team are in some way enduring.
The Mumbai Indians, who had won the IPL trophy in 2020, were eliminated from the 2021 IPL series without advancing to the play-off round.
Opportunity 'MI'
The Mumbai Indians, who have lost the first eight matches in a row and missed out on the play-offs, have won the last two matches in a row against the mighty Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans. Following today, the team is also playing against Kolkata.
Mumbai Indians player
Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to field. Meanwhile, a star player of the Mumbai team has withdrawn from the IPL series due to injury, causing a stir. Suryakumar Yadav, who was initially sidelined for a few matches due to injury, later played for Mumbai.
Suryakumar who fought alone
Despite the Mumbai team's series defeats, Suryakumar had scored great runs in some matches alone. Suryakumar, who has scored 303 runs in 8 matches, suffered a hand injury in the match against Gujarat. As a result, he has been ruled out of the rest of the IPL, including the match against Kolkata.
After the IPL matches, the Indian team will play in some cricket series. Meanwhile, Suryakumar's injury has raised questions among fans as to whether he will recover before the international series.
