Five Players with fitness concerns before Indian T20 League 2022
Suryakumar Yadav
Mumbai’s explosive batter suffered a hairline fracture while fielding in a T20I game against the West Indies last month. Since then, he missed the T20I series against Sri Lanka and is reportedly set to miss the first game for Mumbai. The team will play their first game on March 27 against 2020 finalists Delhi at the Brabourne Stadium.
Kane Williamson
The New Zealand skipper has been suffering from an elbow injury since last year. He also missed out on quite a few games during the year, although played all the games in the 20-20 World Cup. Recently, New Zealand head coach Gary Stead said that Williamson is focusing on T20 cricket for a short term to manage his workload. Kane and Hyderabad management will be keeping their fingers crossed that the injury does not exaggerate during the tournament.
Mahesh Theekshana
The mystery spinner was bought by Chennai last month. However, ahead of the India series, he got injured and hasn’t played any game since then.
