Surya had his IPL debut in 2011 for MI. He played just one game for Mumbai Indians in 2012 but did not get the opportunity to bat there. He got his breakthrough in KKR under Gautam Gambhir but didn't perform up to that level in the middle order, scoring 684 runs in four seasons and having breached the 50-run mark on just one occasion.

2018 saw him return to the Mumbai Indians, where he made massive strides in both his IPL career and international cricket. He has been an integral part of the team since and has been retained in the 2022 Mega Auction as the fourth retainer.
