SKY underwent two surgeries in as many months. In December, he suffered an ankle injury during India's tour of South Africa. The 33-year-old then got another surgery done for a sports hernia. He had his ankle surgery in Bengaluru before flying to Munich for his second surgery.
"Surya at the moment is on the guidance of the Indian cricket team as well. Just waiting for updates on that. I don't like to micromanage. We've got a world-class medical team that's in control of all of that. Yes, the past, we have had a few fitness issues. We are always going to be in that sort of domain of having fitness issues as other teams are as well,” said MI head coach Mark Boucher.
"Every time I look at my WhatsApp's there's reports of other teams also losing players. We trust our medical team that they're doing the right things. Look, if we lose one or two from fitness perspective, it is what it is. That's important and we just have to keep on the right track and sharp on replacements."
