Sunrisers Hyderabad’s star batsman Yuvraj Singh said on Thursday he is currently recovering well and is hopeful of returning to Indian Premier League action against Gujarat Lions on May 6.
The left-hander sustained an ankle injury in the World T20 2016 match against Australia.

His return will surely bolster his side’s batting which has banked heavily on captain David Warner to get the runs. The middle order is not looking very solid in his absence and his addition can give Sunrisers Hyderabad the much-needed balance.
“I am looking to playing the game on May 6. Hopefully, I should be ready by then. I am not fully certain that I will play on 6th May, but my target is to play on the sixth. I had a go-ahead from my doctor yesterday, so hopefully, (I) will play,” Yuvraj said at an event
on April 21 (Thursday).
His team has so far played three games, having won one and lost two and the 34-year-old said that it is too soon to assess their season.
“Sunrisers have played three games. They have won one and lost two. At the moment, it is 50-50. After seven games, you can assess how is the team doing. Nehra got injured, that didn’t work well for us,” he added.
He also hoped that the return of Ashish Nehra to the team will bolster the team’s bowling attack. Ashish Nehra sustained a minor groin strain in the first match against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
“I hope he comes back soon and the bowling line-up with the strengthened and when I come back we can strengthen both in batting and bowling. I hope until the time I go back, the team has won a few games and we are in a good position. So I just wish my team all the best,” Yuvraj concluded.
