In the IPL, Suryakumar has been an integral part of five-time champions Mumbai Indians. His presence will be crucial for the Indian team ahead of the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, happening from June 1-29 in the USA and the West Indies.

India's top-ranked T20I batter Suryakumar Yadav underwent a successful groin surgery in Munich, Germany on 17 January.

Multiple reports have suggested that Suryakumar underwent operation for a sports hernia, a condition for which KL Rahul was also operated upon, co-incidentally in Germany in 2022.
