India batter Suryakumar Yadav suffered an ankle injury during the recent T20Is against South Africa. The 31-year-old twisted his ankle while fielding against South Africa in Johannesburg and there could be a suspected tear that could take six weeks to heal.

The explosive batter will reportedly miss upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan starting January 11. Recently, his wife Devisha Shetty shared some pictures on her social media and gave the fans a glimpse of Surya.

Devisha posted a picture on her Instagram story, where Surya was seen wearing a pneumatic walker boot. The Mumbai Indians batter also reposted the same story on his Instagram, along with a caption which read, "Thoda walk to bane” (a little walk is okay). "Surya has reported to NCA for rehab work and the Medical Science team as of now has ruled him injured.

He won't be able to play against Afghanistan which starts in three weeks time. Since he is unlikely to be selected for Tests, he will possibly play for Mumbai in Ranji Trophy in February to check his fitness before playing in the IPL," a BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity.
