Suryakumar's sister Dinal works in The Estée Lauder Companies, an American multinational cosmetics company, as a visual merchandising planner. She has a Master's degree in fashion business from Pearl Academy in Mumbai.

Sharing a picture with Suryakumar on Instagram on Raksha Bandhan, Dinal wrote:

"Happy Rakhi bhaiya 💕 Let the joy of togetherness be as consistent as our silent love ❤️ Always remain the achaar to our Khichdi recipe.🤭"

On the cricketing front, Suryakumar kicked off his tenure as India's full-time T20I captain with a 3-0 whitewash over Sri Lanka last month. The swashbuckling batter scored 92 runs across three innings and was adjudged the Player of the Series.

In the third fixture, he also impressed many with his bowling, taking the match to the Super Over by claiming two wickets and giving away just five runs in the last over. He was not picked in the squad for the subsequent three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka.
