Why Suryakumar came as an Impact Sub vs KKR?

Meanwhile, Suryakumar was used as an Impact Sub against KKR. Throwing a lid on the issue, Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene put an end to speculation on vice-captain and said that Suryakumar was used as an Impact Player as a precaution due to a slight groin issue.

“Sky came, joined us. He had a slightly tight groin. He was doing fielding and all that. I knew I had another five days from this game to the next game. I just wanted to give him that extra bit of time. I have to take precautions. These are very valuable players for me to have going throughout the season. These are calculated decisions,” Jayawardene told reporters.
