He received his cricket training from Dilip Vengsarkar's 'Vengsarkar Cricket Academy' in Mumbai.
Since his early childhood, he developed an interest in cricket and badminton. But one day, his father asked him to choose between cricket or badminton, so that he didn't sail on 2 boats. After giving a lot of thought, he chose cricket.
Does Suryakumar Yadav smoke?: No
On his debut for Mumbai in the First-Class season against Delhi in 2010, he scored a quick 73 runs off 89.
His fortunes changed in 2015 when he was signed by 'Kolkata Knight Riders.' He didn't let them down as he scored a match-winning 46 runs off 20 balls against Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, and gained instant fame.
His paternal uncle, Vinod Yadav, was his first cricket coach.
Though he was first signed by 'Mumbai Indians' for the 2012 IPL season, he hardly got a chance to play for them, as he was overshadowed by the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Mahela Jayawardene, and Kieron Pollard.
Suryakumar was born into a middle-class family with roots in Uttar Pradesh.
He was 10 years old when his family shifted to Mumbai from Varanasi. The same year, he started playing cricket for his school team.
He is known for his signature 'sweep shot' that he plays against fast bowlers to hit 6s over the deep square leg.
