And finally after close to two months, India T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav in inury-free. The hard-hitter had suffered sports hernia in his lower abdomen, and went through a surgery for that in Germany, soon after the IPL 2025. Spending about five weeks in the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence, Surya shared his journey to recovery, especially when the Asia Cup 2025 is around the corner.
Suryakumar Yadav Recovers in Time for Asia Cup 2025
“I’m feeling good right now. It’s been five to six weeks. A good process, good routines for the last six weeks and fingers crossed, feeling really well,” SKY said in a video posted by the BCCI. Suryakumar Yadav also went on to reveal, that it was during the last stages of the IPL that he got injured, and went through the MRI to get diagnosed.
“It actually got diagnosed close to the end of IPL. I felt it because I had the similar kind of injury last year as well and that’s how I got to know. So a few checklists were there. I tried those things and then I realised that it’s time to go and do a small MRI. When I did it, it was very clear in that. I did it post-IPL, went to Germany. It went really well how it went last year and I knew how the recovery is going to be step by step. So we took one week at a time, and we are here and I’m feeling good.”
Knew About Injury Since IPL
The Asia Cup is slated to start on September 9, while the Indian team open their campaign on the 10th. Post that, the team can go on to potentially play three matches against Pakistan, if both teams manage to reach the finals of the tournament. For recovering in time, the skipper added, the CoE played a big role.
“The most important thing for me is when you come here at CoE or when I was here at NCA last year as well, they understood how my body reacts to certain situations… accordingly they planned all the workouts. As soon as I used to hit the gym and I came here, they would plan the sessions and that’s how we took one week at a time and slowly but steadily we are here.”
