Global travel platform Skyscanner has announced Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav– popularly known as Mr. 360-as its first brand ambassador in India. The partnership comes at a time when 47% of Indians are willing to travel to watch live cricket, according to Skyscanner’s Pitch Perfect Journeys report, underscoring the rise of sport-led travel.

Soon to lead Team India in the upcoming Asia Cup, Suryakumar’s energetic persona and adventurous spirit align naturally with Skyscanner’s mission to make travel simpler, smarter, and more inspiring. His popularity among digitally savvy, lifestyle-driven audiences makes him an ideal face to boost the brand’s presence in India.

The collaboration launches with an interactive contest on Skyscanner India and Suryakumar’s social media handles. Fans are invited to curate personalised travel plans for SKY using Skyscanner’s tools-featuring hidden gems, offbeat destinations, and authentic experiences. The top 10 entries will win an exclusive meet-and-greet with the cricket star.

Commenting on the partnership, Suryakumar Yadav said, “Travel excites me as much as cricket. Whether it’s discovering new places during tours or exploring hidden gems on a break, I love the journey. Partnering with Skyscanner feels natural-it’s about making travel smart, simple, and full of possibilities.”

Neel Ghose, Country Manager, Skyscanner India, added, “SKY’s wide appeal and love for travel make him the perfect face for Skyscanner. His energy brings our brand to life as we grow in India and inspire more travellers to explore the world with us.”
