Why is Suryakumar Yadav not playing? (PC-PTI)
Captain Suryakumar Yadav, who hoisted the winning flag in the Asia Cup 2025, has been ruled out of the practice match against Maharashtra. The reason why Suryakumar Yadav has been out of Mumbai team has not been revealed, but the interesting news is that Shivam Dubey is going to be seen playing in this match. Shivam Dubey recently performed amazing in the Asia Cup. In the final, he won India by winning a great partnership with Tilak Verma against Pakistan and now this player will be seen playing a three -day practice match against Maharashtra. Suryakumar Yadav was in poor form in the Asia Cup, he did not score a single half -century, not playing in this match is a little surprised.
