Suryakumar Yadav Becomes a Father

On Thursday, Suryakumar Yadav, the captain of India's T20I team, celebrated the arrival of his first child with his wife, Devisha Shetty. The couple welcomed a baby girl, bringing joy to the cricketer and his family. This delightful news comes at a time when Suryakumar is facing challenges in the ongoing IPL 2026 season, struggling with his form. Despite the hurdles on the field, the birth of his daughter adds a special moment to his personal life.

A Joyous Occasion for the Couple

Suryakumar and Devisha tied the knot in 2016 and are considered one of the most beloved couples in Indian cricket. Fans have flooded social media with congratulatory messages as the couple embarks on this new chapter of their lives. The year 2026 has been remarkable for Suryakumar, both personally and professionally. Earlier this year, he played a pivotal role in leading India to its third ICC T20 World Cup title on home soil, defeating New Zealand by 96 runs in the final held in Ahmedabad. Now, with the arrival of their baby girl, their family has grown.

Current Challenges in IPL

As of now, the couple has not publicly announced the news on social media or any other platform. Suryakumar has been struggling with his form in the IPL 2026 season. However, he has captained Manchester United twice this season in the absence of Hardik Pandya. Earlier this week, there were questions regarding the MI captaincy against RCB in Raipur, as both Suryakumar and Hardik were likely to miss the match.

Future Availability

While Suryakumar is currently unavailable for selection, reports suggest that Hardik is expected to return to the field on Sunday, May 10. It remains unclear when Suryakumar will rejoin the MI team for the remaining matches of the 2026 season.
