Suryakumar Yadav Shows Promising Form in Nets, Boosting Hopes for Comeback

Indian T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has been seen practicing in the nets, indicating a strong possibility of his return to international cricket. The 34-year-old displayed his signature style, including elegant sweeps and lofted drives, demonstrating excellent timing. This suggests he is nearing full fitness, which is promising news for fans eagerly anticipating his comeback. Yadav’s performance in the IPL 2025 season was particularly impressive, where he played for Mumbai Indians and was the second-highest run-scorer with 717 runs in 16 innings, averaging 65.18 with a strike rate over 167. He scored five half-centuries, including an unbeaten 73. Following the IPL, he underwent sports hernia surgery in Munich, Germany. His rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy’s Centre of Excellence (CoE) appears to have been successful. With the Asia Cup 2025 starting on September 9, his return is a significant boost for India’s batting lineup. The team will begin its campaign against the UAE on September 10.
