About Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav, known everywhere as “SKY”, is one of the most inventive T20 batters the game has ever seen. Born in 1990 and raised in Mumbai, he is famous for playing shots to all parts of the ground, including the scoop and sweep over fine leg that earned him the nickname “Mr 360”. His rise is also a story of patience: he made his India debut at 30 after years of strong performances in domestic cricket and the IPL.
Career highlights
Suryakumar came up through club cricket in Mumbai and made his List A debut for Mumbai in 2010. He made his T20I debut in March 2021 and quickly became a fixture in India’s T20 side. He was ranked the number one T20I batter in the world from October 2022 to June 2024 and won the ICC Men’s T20I Cricketer of the Year award in both 2022 and 2023.
He has scored four T20I centuries and was part of the teams that won the 2023 Asia Cup and the 2024 T20 World Cup, where his boundary catch in the final became one of the defining moments of the tournament. He went on to captain India’s T20I team, leading the side to the 2025 Asia Cup title and the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup. In the IPL he plays for Mumbai Indians.
