Suryakumar Yadav has been rather inconsistent with the bat in IPL 2024, having scored 345 runs in 10 matches at an average of 38.33. After a stunning unbeaten century, he was dismissed for 11 in the previous game against the Kolkata Knight Riders.

However, SKY has a phenomenal record at Wankhede Stadium, smashing 210 runs in four matches, including two half-centuries and a century. Thus, he could be an ideal choice as captain/vice-captain of your Dream11 team.
