Since taking over as India's T20I leadership, Suryakumar has accumulated 258 runs in 15 matches. Compared to his runs in recent T20Is, his Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 performance was nothing short of exceptional. Representing the Mumbai Indians, he finished as the second-highest run-scorer of the season, smashing 717 runs in 16 matches (16 innings) at a staggering average of 65.18 and an explosive strike rate of over 167. He scored five half-centuries, with a best score of 73 not out.

After the conclusion of the 18th season of the IPL in June this year, a couple of weeks later, Suryakumar confirmed that he had undergone successful sports hernia surgery in Munich, Germany. After returning to India, he continued his rehab at the CoE.
