Sunrisers Hyderabad batsman Yuvraj Singh said on Thursday that he is well on track to regain full fitness and return to action against Gujarat Lions on May 6. Yuvraj has been recuperating from the ankle injury he sustained during India's World T20 match against Australia at Mohali back in March.

"I am looking to play 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, will play," Yuvraj said at the launch of a sportswear company in Mumbai, reported IANS.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have lost two out of their three matches they have played this season, and the swashbuckling all-rounder has hoped for a change in his team's fortune with him and Ashish Nehra, who sustained a minor groin strain in the first match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, returning back to the team.

"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," the 34-year-old said.

"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 till 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.
