Suryakumar Yadav has been the talk of the town ever since he has joined the Mumbai Indians since the IPL 2018. Even in this edition of the IPL 2020-21, Surya amassed 480 runs and played a vital role in Mumbai Indians winning the title. Now, ahead of the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy 2020-21, Suryakumar Yadav played a practice game against Yashasvi Jaiswal's Team D. Arjun Tendulkar was playing under Yashasvi Jaiswal’s team and in his penultimate over was bowling to Suryakumar Yadav. The Mumbai Indians slammed 21 runs in one over and also scored 120 runs from 47 balls. He scored ten fours and nine sixes throughout his innings and got retired hurt. Suryakumar Yadav Birthday Special: 71 vs CSK and Other Top Knocks By Mumbai Indians Batsman in IPL.

There has been a lot of buzz about how Suryakumar Yadav has been a deserving candidate for the Indian squad. Recently, former cricketer-turned-expert Aakash Chopra said, "Both Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan are knocking on the doors and considering the number of our players that are getting injured, I feel they might even get to play against England."
