Manjrekar said that Yadav's age was eventually catching up to him, and the onus was on the Mumbai Indians star batter to regain his form by working on his fitness first. Yadav is currently 35 years old.
Suryakumar Yadav turned the 'supla' (a pick-up shot over fine leg) into a trademark stroke, and that had turned him into one of the best T20 players of the early 2020s. Now, though, his form has been waning not just in international cricket, but in the IPL as well.
He has made just one fifty this year, with a high score of 51. While Suryakumar Yadav's T20I form has been on the down low since November 2024, his IPL form didn't seem to suffer. In IPL 2025, he made more than 717 runs in 16 matches, an MI record for most runs in a single IPL season. He crossed 25 in every match and set a world record.
If you don't take care of your fitness, you will be exposed- Sanjay Manjrekar
“I don't think he is as fit as he was 5 or 6 years back. I mean, he's older, but fitness-wise, I don't think he is. If you get on the wrong side of 30, then if you don't take care of your fitness too much, this game is so ruthless, it will start exposing you, because those things that you take for granted, seeing the ball, and hitting all these shots, they'll start, sort of, just find it more difficult to pull those shots off," Manjrekar said.
Suryakumar Yadav should learn from Virat Kohli- Sanjay Manjrekar
Manjrekar then went on to say that Suryakumar Yadav should take Virat Kohli's example and learn from the RCB stalwart. Manjrekar cited how Kohli was able to drastically change his game in his late 30s, mainly because of fitness.
Surya has that body of experience. Over the years, he has learned how to get runs. He's seen success, so the mental side of things is there. Just get your body to support your intent. And I thought Rohit Sharma, as well, fell off and waned off because he didn't take care of his fitness as much as he should. He just made things a little more difficult,” said Manjrekar.
"For Surya, this is the only thing: okay, he can make his journey much simpler going forward if he just focuses on his physical factors. The mental side of things will take care of itself,” he added.
