'Lao Phone Do Na': Suryakumar Yadav Clicks Pictures With Young Fans in Mumbai

The man’s shots may fly ‘SKY’-high but he remains rooted as ever. Mumbai Indians batter Suryakumar Yadav marked his return to Mumbai by stopping to take a couple of photos with some young fans today.

Surya had been out of action ever since he injured himself on the field during India’s tour of South Africa, and was forced to miss the first few matches of MI’s IPL campaign so far.

But, the hard-hitting sensation got clearance from the National Cricket Academy on Wednesday and today, he joined his Indian Premier League (IPL) team for the remainder of the tournament, as he checked into the team hotel.

Upon reaching the hotel, Surya was spotted tending to some young fans, who were in awe of the 33-year-old, and took the time to go tend to them and click some photos together in a wholesome gesture.

Under skipper Hardik Pandya’s captaincy, MI have suffered three losses so far with the need for a certified box-office hard-bitter like Suryakumar being shone brightly, as they crumbled in a dismal display against Rajasthan Royals in their last match.

Suryakumar Yadav has gone on to cement himself as one of the best in the business. Holding the top spot amongst batters in the shortest format, he has built a reputation for hitting the ball to all parts of the ground and consistently scoring big runs for the national side. He has played 60 games where he scored 2141 runs at an average of 45.55 and striking at a rate of 171.55.

The five-time title holders will certainly be keen to see their number four batter back on the field as they hope to see a change in fortunes in a bid to clinch the title once again. More importantly, the national side will also be looking to see the best of Suryakumar once again as they go for the T20 World Cup.
