India’s T20I skipper and prolific batter Suryakumar Yadav has travelled to London to seek medical advice from a specialist concerning a lingering sports hernia issue. The 34-year-old will undergo additional assessments to ascertain if surgical intervention is necessary.After an intense three-month run of non-stop cricket—including an impressive showing in IPL 2025 with the Mumbai Indians and participation in the Mumbai T20 League—Suryakumar is now utilising the gap in India’s international schedule to prioritise his rehabilitation.With no T20 matches scheduled until August-September, Surya felt this was the ideal window to address his injury and allow ample time for recovery at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru,” a BCCI source revealed.Meanwhile, the Indian Test squad is currently in England gearing up for their five-match series against the hosts, starting June 20 at Headingley. Since Suryakumar isn’t involved in the red-ball format, he’s been afforded a rare chance to focus on his fitness without the urgency of upcoming national team commitments.The right-handed batter enjoyed yet another stellar IPL campaign, amassing 700 runs for Mumbai Indians, and later featured in domestic T20 matches as well.India’s upcoming T20I series is slated for August in Bangladesh, offering Suryakumar sufficient time to recover. However, should surgery be required, the rehabilitation period might postpone his comeback to competitive cricket.
