Suryakumar Yadav will lead Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2023 match against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday.

At the toss, the stand-in skipper said Rohit Sharma has a stomach bug. However, Rohit was named on the Impact Player bench and could come out to bat when Mumbai Indians chases.

Suryakumar comes into the match on the back of a dreadful run of form. He was dismissed for a golden duck, his fourth in the last six innings, in the previous match against Delhi Capitals. In IPL 2023, Suryakumar has scored 16 runs in three innings.

On the other hand, Rohit played a captain’s knock against Capitals, scoring a 45-ball 65 to enable Mumbai’s first win in the tournament.
