IPL 2024: SKY fails on comeback, faces backlash on social media

The much-awaited return of Suryakumar Yadav to the Mumbai Indians lineup in IPL 2024 turned out to be a brief and disappointing one. Despite the anticipation surrounding his comeback after a 115-day injury hiatus, SKY’s first game lasted merely two deliveries, ending in a silver duck.

SKY’s Early Dismissal

In the clash against Delhi Capitals, SKY’s return was met with enthusiasm from fans and teammates alike. However, his innings was cut short when he attempted a big shot early in his innings, resulting in a mistimed shot and his subsequent departure without contributing to the scoreboard.

Impact on Mumbai Indians

The dismissal of Suryakumar Yadav early in the innings dealt a significant blow to Mumbai Indians’ aspirations in the match. With Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan providing a solid start, SKY had high hopes of stabilizing the innings after Rohit’s departure. However, his swift exit dashed those expectations.

Social Media Reaction

Following his dismissal, social media platforms were abuzz with reactions and memes, with many expressing disappointment and frustration at SKY’s failure to make an impact in his comeback game. Despite his stellar reputation in the T20 format, the unexpected early dismissal led to widespread trolling and criticism.

MI’s Current Position

The disappointment of SKY’s early exit compounded the woes of Mumbai Indians, who find themselves languishing at the bottom of the IPL Points Table after suffering three consecutive defeats. The return of their ace batter was expected to provide a much-needed boost to their campaign, but his premature departure only added to their struggles.

SKY’s Injury Comeback

Challenges and setbacks marked Suryakumar Yadav’s journey back to the field. Having undergone surgery for both an ankle injury and a sports hernia, SKY underwent an extensive rehabilitation process before receiving clearance from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) to resume playing. Despite his diligent training and preparation, the pressure of marking his return with a notable performance may have contributed to his early dismissal.
