Robin Uthappa Predicts Suryakumar Yadav May Return to KKR in IPL 2027–28
Former cricketer Robin Uthappa predicts that Suryakumar Yadav may leave Mumbai Indians to rejoin Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL by 2027 or 2028. Uthappa suggests this move could coincide with Gautam Gambhir returning to KKR as a mentor or coach after his tenure with the Indian team ends. Suryakumar, recently dropped from India's T20I squad and having a disappointing IPL 2026 season, might take on a leadership role at KKR, which is seeking experienced captaincy options.
