Suryakumar Yadav Injury Update - India T20I Skipper Undergoes Sports Hernia Surgery

India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has successfully undergone surgery for a sports hernia in his lower right abdomen. The Mumbai batter went to Munich, Germany for the procedure and has now started his recovery. He was last seen playing for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. Suryakumar Yadav took to Instagram to update his fans, sharing that his surgery was successful and that he is now recovering well. The Indian T20I captain said he is eager to return to action soon.

“Underwent surgery for a sports hernia in the lower right abdomen. Grateful to share that after a smooth surgery, I’m already on the road to recovery. Can’t wait to be back,” Suryakumar wrote. 

SKY Likely to Miss Upcoming White-Ball Series

Suryakumar Yadav has faced a sports hernia before, but on the left side. In January 2024, he had a similar surgery in Germany. He recovered in time to play in the IPL and later helped India win the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA.

This time, with surgery done on the right side, he may need at least one or two months to recover. After the ongoing India vs England series, the Indian team is set to play 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is. If SKY isn’t fit in time, the team will need someone to take his place. Shubman Gill, the current T20I vice-captain, is an option, though he may choose to rest after the England series.
