While speaking at Mumbai Indians’ pre-season press conference, Boucher said that they have always gone through fitness problems. The former Proteas cricketer added that Mumbai Indians have a “world-class” medical team.

“We are awaiting updates on Suryakumar from the BCCI. We have always been under a cloud of fitness issues but we have a world-class medical team. We may lose one or two in terms of fitness but we have to move on as is sport,” Boucher said.

Recently, Suryakumar took to his official Instagram account and shared a video of him working out at the gym.

While sharing the video, he wrote, “Kaam chalu hai doston, Milte hain jaldi.”
