India’s T20 World Cup-winning captain Suryakumar Yadav, who was recently sidelined from Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy team, has made a comeback and will lead the side in the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT).

Mumbai begin their campaign against Hyderabad in Kolkata on November 14. Former India pacer and Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) Cricket Improvement Committee chairman Raju Kulkarni believes Suryakumar’s leadership will be a major boost to the team.
