WATCH- “Can’t wait”- Suryakumar Yadav preps for Asia Cup 2025, bats in nets for the first time after surgery

Suryakumar Yadav underwent sports hernia surgery in Munich this year.

Ahead of the Asia Cup 2025, India has some encouraging news. At the Board of Control for Cricket in India's Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru on Friday, India's T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav batted in the nets for the first time after having surgery in Munich, Germany, to repair a sports hernia.

Although Surya has been practicing at the CoE for the past few days, this is his first time hitting the nets.

After undergoing surgery, Suryakumar was checked into the Centre of Excellence (CoE) a few days ago for rehabilitation and fitness evaluations in order to be ready for the Asia Cup, which will begin in the UAE on September 9 in T20 format.

Last month, SKY took a plane to Munich to see a specialist about addressing a lower abdominal injury on the right side that was caused by a sports hernia. The 34-year-old Mumbaikar had sports hernia surgery in Munich last year (January 2024), marking the second time in two years that he has had the procedure.

For the Mumbai Indians, the handsome batsman had an incredible IPL 2025, scoring 717 runs at a strike rate of 167.9 in 16 games.

"Can’t wait to be back doing what i love," SKY posted along with a video of him batting in the nets, indicating that the Mumbai batter should be fit and available for the continental tournament.
