The T20I captain of the Indian side, Suryakumar Yadav, has reflected on his recovery process at the new Centre of Excellence by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as he looked to recover from the sports hernia in his lower right abdomen to comeback during the Asia Cup 2025 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). 

Suryakumar had a struggling home series against England as he accumulated 28 runs in five innings at an average of 5.60 and a strike rate of 116.66, with the best score of 14 runs. The right-handed batter will expect to continue the same skills and rhythm with the bat from the IPL, where he crossed the 600-run mark for the Mumbai Indians.

“Feeling good. It’s been a good process for five to six weeks. It actually got diagnosed during the IPL. I got to know that because I had this injury before. Very checkups, and then I did an MRI, which was clear of a requirement for surgery. I went to Germany, and post IPL, I did it. I was prepared for the recovery and took one week at a time.” The Mumbai-born expressed his view on the BCCI CoE.

“The most important thing for me, as I was at NCA last year as well, is that they understand how my body reacts to certain situations. All the body strengthening coaches and physios understand that. They planned all the instant workouts. Slowly but steadily, we are here as we took one week at a time.” The Mumbai Indians-batter observed.

“This CoE is massive. More than 30-35 people can train together in the gym. Some of the new equipment is really good for rehab. There are nearly 60-70 wickets to practice at the ground, so that any contracted player can come and train here for about a week. Unbelievable facility that I have seen for a very long time.” Suryakumar Yadav concluded.
