New Delhi, June 26, 2025 — Indian cricket star Suryakumar Yadav has successfully undergone surgery for a sports hernia in Germany, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed on Wednesday. The procedure was carried out as part of the batter’s recovery plan after being sidelined due to persistent abdominal discomfort.
The surgery comes just weeks after India’s T20 World Cup triumph, in which Suryakumar played a vital role. He had been experiencing discomfort for some time, and medical scans revealed a sports hernia requiring immediate attention.
BCCI stated that the procedure was successful and that Suryakumar is recovering well. He will continue his rehabilitation under the supervision of the BCCI’s medical team, which is monitoring his progress closely.
While the board did not specify a return date, sources suggest that the middle-order batter could be back in action later this year, depending on his rehabilitation schedule and fitness assessments.
The dynamic right-hander has been one of India’s most consistent T20 performers in recent years, known for his 360-degree shot-making and finishing prowess. His absence may impact the team’s immediate plans, but the successful surgery has given hope for a full recovery.
