Before the cricketing world came to an abrupt halt in March due to the Coronavirus-induced lockdown, Suryakumar Yadav was raring to go in the Indian Premier League. The flamboyant Mumbai Indians batsman had a dream domestic season and IPL seemed to be the final frontier to pave the way for his much-awaited selection in the Indian team.

Yadav finished the Ranji Trophy for Mumbai with 508 runs in eight matches. He had the best average of 113 among Mumbai batters in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, scoring 226 runs in four innings. Yadav was the third highest run-getter in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament with 392 runs in 10 innings.
