Openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan looked quite confident with the willow but are yet to convert their starts into big scores. On the other hand, Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir in the middle-order try to stabilize the batting. Hardik Pandya coming down the order has not yet yielded scores up to the mark. On Sunday, if the skipper manages to put on some impressive show with the bat or bowl, there are chances of the home crowd turning their boos into cheers for Pandya. If MI plays Suryakumar against Delhi Capitals, the hosts will get a deep dig in their batting.

Yadav representing Mumbai in domestic cricket will be well aware of the Wankhede track. This will be an additional benefit for the veteran's return. The interesting thing to watch out for in MI's Sunday IPL 2024 fixture will be the batting position of Surya. With Naman consistently scoring runs at number three, will he be pushed down the order due to the key batsman's return?

The fitness and form of Suryakumar will also be in the sight of the national selectors ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. The global showpiece is set to begin from the month of June which will be hosted by the West Indies and the USA.

So far, featuring in 139 matches in the Indian Premier League, the right-hander has accumulated 3,249 runs with a highest score of unbeaten 103 runs.
