Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav has been revealed as the face of Skechers’ cricket footwear range following a partnership agreement with the South Asian division of the US multinational footwear and apparel giant.
By bringing the Mumbai Indians batter on board, Skechers aims to strengthen its place in the cricketing world, with Yadav set to feature in the brand’s marketing and advertising campaigns across cricket and performance categories.
By joining Skechers, the 35-year-old, who leads India in T20Is, joins the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Ishan Kishan, Yastika Bhatia, and Sunil Chhetri on Skechers’ sports roster.
On his team-up with Skechers Cricket, Suryakumar Yadav commented:
“At the highest level of cricket, comfort plays a critical role in helping you stay focused and consistent. Skechers’ approach to combining comfort with performance truly stands out and that’s what made the brand a natural fit for me. Whether it’s match day or training, their footwear supports the demands of the game, and I’m excited to be part of the Skechers family.”
Rahul Vira, CEO of Skechers South Asia Pvt Ltd, added:
“Suryakumar Yadav embodies the spirit of modern Indian cricket – dynamic, resilient and fearless. After captaining Team India with confidence and clarity to victory at the World Cup this year, he brings the same energy and intent that defines Skechers’ approach to performance and innovation. His journey, driven by movement, adaptability and self-belief, aligns strongly with our roster of elite players like Jasprit Bumrah, as well as our ongoing association as Official Kit Sponsor for the Mumbai Indians. These partnerships illustrate our commitment to cricket by creating footwear that enables every athlete to perform at their best.”
