Early Career & Development
Born on March 12, 2001, in Maharashtra, Abhishek's journey in football began within the youth ranks of DSK Shivajians. His technical proficiency quickly paved the way for a move to the ATK youth setup, where he honed his skills in the I-League 2nd Division and the Calcutta Football League, establishing himself as a standout performer in the developmental squads.
Professional Journey
Following the merger of ATK and Mohun Bagan, Abhishek was integrated into the senior setup.

He has since become a vital cog in the squad, often trusted in high-stakes matches due to his tactical intelligence and ability to dictate the tempo of the game.

The 2023-24 season served as a breakthrough year for Suryavanshi. Under Antonio Lopez Habas, he secured a regular role in the starting XI, playing a pivotal part in Mohun Bagan’s triumphant run to the ISL League Winners Shield. His consistent performances earned him the ISL Emerging Player of the Month award for April 2024 and a call-up to the India U23 national team.
Playing Style
Abhishek is a modern deep-lying playmaker characterized by his vision, press-resistance, and defensive positioning. His ability to link the defense to the attack with precision makes him an indispensable asset in the Mariners' midfield transition.
