After becoming a full-time captain, Suryakumar has amassed 258 runs in 15 matches. Representing the Mumbai Indians, he finished as the second-highest run-scorer of IPL 2025, where he accumulated 717 runs in 16 matches (16 innings) at a staggering average of 65.18 and an explosive strike rate of over 167.

Speaking on the day of the squad announcement, Suryakumar had revealed his road to recovery, from realising that he had the injury during the IPL, and going through a ‘checklist’ to analyse it further.

“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," he said.

“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."

India will be banking on Suryakumar's fearless approach as they aim to begin their Asia Cup campaign on a strong note.
