India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has undergone a successful surgery for a sports hernia in his lower right abdomen in Munich, Germany.
PTI had reported last week that Suryakumar was suffering from a sports hernia in his right lower abdomen and will go under the knife if required.
“Life Update: 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,” the 34-year-old batter wrote on his social media handle on Wednesday (June 25, 2025).
A sports hernia is a soft tissue injury in the groin or lower abdomen, often involving muscles, tendons, or ligaments.
Following the surgery in Germany, he is expected to begin rehabilitation at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru in about two weeks.
India’s next white-ball assignment is a tour of Bangladesh in August, which will have three ODIs and three T20Is.
Suryakumar, who hasn’t featured in the 50-over format since the 2023 World Cup final, is expected to return to lead the T20I side in Chattogram on August 26.
This was Suryakumar’s third surgery in as many years. He underwent ankle surgery in 2023 and previously had the same sports hernia procedure in 2024. Before the surgery, Suryakumar was in scintillating form for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025 and was named the Player of the Tournament.
He had amassed 717 runs — second behind Orange Cap winner Sai Sudharsan (759 runs) — as the Mumbai Indians finished in the playoffs, where they lost to Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2.
In the T20 Mumbai League that followed, he led Triumph Knights Mumbai North East, scoring 122 runs in five innings.
