In 2023, Suryakumar displayed a versatile array of shots, boasting an impressive average of 48.86 and a striking strike rate of 155.95. He ranked as the third-highest run-scorer globally in T20 Internationals, accumulating 733 runs from just 17 innings.

Notably, he achieved two centuries and five half-centuries in the 17 matches played, with a standout moment being his spectacular 112* off 51 balls against Sri Lanka.

Concluding the year with a remarkable century against South Africa in December 2023, the 33-year-old had previously won the same award in 2022, making history as the first Indian recipient.
