Early life[]

Since his early childhood, Yadav developed an interest in cricket and badminton. His father Ashok Kumar Yadav moved from Varanasi to Mumbai for his job as electrical engineer for BARC.[5] Yadav learnt his skills while playing in the streets of Mumbai. At the age of 10, his father saw his inclination towards the game and enrolled him in a cricket camp in BARC colony in Anushakti Nagar. He then went to Elf Vengsarkar Academy and played the age group cricket in Mumbai.[6]

Career[]

Suryakumar Yadav made his first-class debut against Delhi during the 2010-11 Ranji Trophy. He had a great start to his career as he top-scored for Mumbai with a well compiled 73 and was the only player to score a fifty in Mumbai's first innings. Since then, he has been a regular member of the side.[7]

In October 2018, he was named in India C's squad for the 2018–19 Deodhar Trophy.[8] In October 2019, he was named in the India C squad for the 2019–20 Deodhar Trophy.[9] He captained the Mumbai cricket team in the 2020-21 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.[10]
