Star Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav will be available to play for Mumbai in the upcoming Ranji Trophy 2022-23 from December 20 onwards, reported ESPNCricinfo earlier in December. He was batting at the MCA Sharad Pawar Ground in BKC, and also sported a Mumbai crest on his helmet.
The in-form T20I batter will be available for the second-round game against Hyderabad. Indian Test veteran Ajinkya Rahane will be leading the side in the upcoming edition of Ranji. Suryakumar has been in fantastic form this year in T20Is. In 31 T20I matches this year, he has scored 1,164 runs at an average of 46.56, with two centuries and nine fifties and the best score of 117.
He is the highest T20I run-scorer this year. But the batter has not been able to replicate his T20I success in ODIs. He has scored only 260 runs in 13 ODIs this year at an average of 26.00 and just one half-century under his belt. Notably, Suryakumar has a fantastic first-class cricket record. In 77 matches and 129 innings, he has scored 5,326 runs at an average of 44.01. He has scored 14 centuries and 26 half-centuries, with the best individual score of 200.
