India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav and his wife Devisha Shetty celebrated the arrival of their first child, a baby girl, on Thursday. The couple, married since 2016, recently had a baby shower surrounded by close friends and family. Suryakumar, currently playing for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, announced the news joyfully on Instagram.
Reports indicated that Suryakumar chose to stay with his family instead of traveling with the Mumbai Indians squad to Raipur this week. Devisha has been a pillar of support throughout Suryakumar’s cricketing career, from his domestic cricket days to leading India to a T20 World Cup victory. The couple, popular on social media, faces uncertainty over Suryakumar’s availability for the upcoming Mumbai Indians match on May 10.
The birth of their daughter has raised questions about Suryakumar’s return to the squad, with no official announcement made by Mumbai Indians yet. In the absence of regular skipper Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar led the team to a successful chase in their previous match. With Suryakumar on family duty and Hardik recovering from an injury, pacer Jasprit Bumrah might step in as captain for the next game.
