Three IPL Teams That Should Target Suryakumar Yadav in 2027
With Mumbai Indians reportedly planning a major overhaul, Suryakumar Yadav could be available for IPL 2027.
Reports suggest Mumbai Indians are considering releasing Suryakumar Yadav as part of a squad revamp for IPL 2027, following a poor season that saw them finish ninth. The five-time champions have not won a title since 2020, and internal rifts have surfaced. If MI release him, several franchises could benefit from his experience.
Lucknow Super Giants are strong contenders. After finishing 10th and with Rishabh Pant likely leaving, LSG need a captain and top-order batter. Suryakumar could fill both roles, bringing star power and leadership. Kolkata Knight Riders also struggled in 2026 and might seek a new captain, making Suryakumar a viable option to stabilize their batting order.
