In Munich, Germany, India’s T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav got successful hernia surgery and is presently recovering.
The last time we saw Suryakumar was during the 2025 Indian Premier League, where he played a key role in the Mumbai Indians’ playoff run. A new world record for consecutive scores of 25 or more was set by the middle-order hitter, 34 (16). In addition, he finished with 717 runs, which was the most by a MI hitter in a single season and the most by a non-opener in the IPL.
The ongoing Test tour of England, which runs through August 4, is India’s current assignment. They then turn their attention to a three-ODI and three-T20I white-ball tour of Bangladesh.
Suryakumar Yadav hasn’t participated in 50-overs cricket since the 2023 World Cup final, hence he isn’t a regular for India. Because to this schedule, he had some spare time to do the surgery and recuperate before leading the T20 team in Chattogram on August 26.
After India won the World Cup in June 2024, Suryakumar became leadership of the team in Twenty20 Internationals. With the retirement of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja at the conclusion of that tournament. The IPL generation took over, and India’s batting has since achieved unprecedented heights. A squad that prioritizes batting depth and rapid scoring was able to consistently surpass the 250-run mark. The second-highest total in T20 history. 297 was reached by them against Bangladesh in October 2024.
