Suryakumar Yadav
Read Suryakumar Yadav’s batting role, career milestones and verified social accounts, with sourced cricket context and scorecard-reading guidance.
Suryakumar Yadav is an India batter known for inventive, three-dimensional T20 strokeplay. Scorecards should identify him primarily as a right-handed batter; bowling-style listings describe right-arm medium and, in ESPNcricinfo’s fuller profile, right-arm offbreak as secondary options rather than a regular all-rounder role.

Role and profile
Suryakumar Yadav is an India batter, not an all-rounder designation. The ICC lists his role as Batter, his batting style as Right Handed, and his bowling style as right-arm medium. ESPNcricinfo’s fuller listing adds right-arm offbreak. That bowling entry is best read as an occasional option, not evidence of a regular bowling workload. ESPNcricinfo records his public birth date as 14 September 1990 in Mumbai, Maharashtra.
Career context
His senior career began with Mumbai: ESPNcricinfo records a Ranji Trophy debut in 2010 and a prolific early domestic season. He spent four IPL seasons with Kolkata Knight Riders beginning in 2014, then returned to Mumbai Indians in 2018, where the profile describes a breakthrough as a top-order/middle-order contributor and notes IPL titles in 2019 and 2020. His India career began in 2021: ESPNcricinfo lists a T20I debut against England on 14 March and an ODI debut against Sri Lanka on 18 July. These are established career milestones, not predictions about future matches.
How to read his scorecard
Start with the label Batter: Yadav’s primary value is run scoring. An ICC feature describes his attacking range as 360-degree batting, with scoring options behind square, through the leg side, against pace and spin, and at different phases of a T20 innings. The same historical discussion considers several top-four positions, so a batting number should be read as match context rather than a permanent job title. If he appears in the bowling section, the profile’s medium/offbreak listings indicate a secondary capability; they do not by themselves imply a sustained spell or all-rounder status.
Squad-status boundary
The official IPL retention notice dated 15 November 2025 lists Suryakumar Yadav among Mumbai Indians’ retained players for IPL 2026. That is squad-retention evidence only: it does not prove selection in a particular XI, current availability, captaincy, or any future achievement. This profile therefore does not infer a current XI from fixture pages or future-looking provider data.
A profile records source-backed identity and role context. It does not place this player in an XI or replace an official team announcement.
