Suryakumar Yadav undergoes successful groin surgery
Suryakumar Yadav has successfully undergone a sports hernia surgery. The news was confirmed by the Indian star on his social media handle. Suryakumar, currently the top-ranked T20I batter, recently faced a series of medical procedures within a short timeframe, the first being treatment for an ankle injury.
The ankle injury occurred during the T20I series of the South Africa tour last month when the 33-year-old twisted his ankle while fielding in the third T20I at the New Wanderers Stadium, necessitating surgical intervention.
“Surgery done,” Suryakumar wrote in an Instagram post while sharing a picture from the hospital bed and added he will be back “very soon”.
“I want to thank everyone for their concerns and well wishes for my health, and I am happy to tell you all that I will be back very soon,” he added.
Although these dual surgeries are expected to keep him on the sidelines for an extended period, reports suggest that he is anticipated to make a comeback in time for the IPL 2024.

With an impressive track record in the format, Suryakumar has amassed 2141 runs in 57 innings at an average of 45.55, featuring four centuries and 17 half-centuries.
