IPL 2022: Suryakumar Yadav unlikely to be available for Mumbai Indians' opener against Delhi Capitals
Suryakumar Yadav might have to sit out of the Mumbai Indians' IPL opener against Delhi Capitals on March 27 as he is unlikely to fully recover from a hairline fracture on his thumb. Yadav, one of the four players retained by Mumbai Indians, sustained the injury during the T20 series against the West Indies and subsequently missed the assignment against Sri Lanka. "Surya is currently at the NCA doing his rehabilitation. He is well on his way to recovery but there is a possibility that his participation in the opening game will be a real touch and go affair," a senior BCCI source privy to developments told PTI on conditions of anonymity. "So there could be a possibility that he might be advised by the board's medical team to not risk playing the opener," he added.

India, for example, in the last 4-5 years has developed some serious pacers across formats and more and more youngsters are cropping up and advancing to the higher levels. Teams like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan too are eagerly investing in young talents, who can clock above 140 kmph at will and rattle the batters. TimesofIndia.com here takes a look at some of the current highly rated quicks from the subcontinental teams other than Pakistan who are constantly clocking 140kmph plus on the speed guns: Jasprit Bumrah (India)
