"Bas yahi hona baki tha" - Twitter reacts as MI's Suryakumar Yadav is ruled out of IPL 2022

The Mumbai Indians (MI) will be without their star batter Suryakumar Yadav for their remaining matches in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022). The right-hander has been ruled out of the remainder of the competition with a forearm injury.

A press release from the IPL confirmed the news of Suryakumar Yadav's injury on Monday ahead of Mumbai's fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The player suffered a left forearm injury during his team's fixture against Gujarat Titans (GT) on May 6.

The news comes as a major blow for the five-time champions, considering their disastrous campaign. MI were the first IPL team to get knocked out of the race for the playoffs and are currently languishing at the bottom of the IPL 2022 points table.

Here's how netizens reacted to the announcement:

It is worth mentioning that Suryakumar Yadav had to miss MI's initial matches of the edition due to a thumb injury that he sustained during the white-ball series against West Indies earlier this year. The 31-year-old has racked up 303 runs, including three half-centuries from his eight appearances this season.
