Suryakumar Yadav has approved his fitness and will be available for Captain – BCCI source
Due to his recent surgery, there were some doubts about Suryakumar Yadav’s participation in the Asia Cup 2025. He underwent surgery for a lower-right stomach hernia in Munich, Germany in June after his tenure in the IPL and Mumbai T20 League.
The India T20I captain then traveled to the Excellence of Excellence (COE) in Bengaluru for his rehabilitation and has now received a clean chit from the medical team to participate in the Marki tournament.
A Board for Cricket in India (BCCI) said, “They have approved their fitness and will be available to captain the Indian team during the Asia Cup. He was in COE a few days ago, where he had done a rehabilitation program and has now been declared fit. He will attend the Indian team selection meeting.”
Some reports claimed that Shubman Gill could lead India in the Asia Cup 2025 if Suryakumar Yadav was unfit, but those reports have now been shot.

Is Suryakumar Yadav’s T20i a concern?
Former World No. 1 T20I batter Suryakumar Yadav saw the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2025 extraordinary for the five -time champion.
He demonstrated unrealistic stability and made 25-plus in all matches. Suryakumar finished the season with an average of 65.18 with 717 runs and a strike rate of 167.91.
However, their latest T20i numbers are not very good. He last scored fifty runs against Bangladesh on October 12, 2024, and since then, he has been on a 9 consecutive match patch.
