Suryakumar Yadav and his wife Devisha Shetty are celebrating the arrival of their baby girl, but his paternity leave casts doubt on his availability for the next Mumbai Indians IPL match.
Suryakumar Yadav and his wife Devisha Shetty have welcomed a baby girl, marking a joyous moment for the Indian T20I captain and his family.
The couple, who got married in July 2016, have been receiving warm wishes from across the cricketing fraternity.
Sharing the happy news, Suryakumar Yadav took to X and wrote, ‘With giggles, bows, and dreams to unfurl, we welcome our baby girl.’
Mumbai Indians also congratulated the couple on the special occasion, extending their best wishes to Suryakumar and his family.
The news comes amid IPL 2026, with Suryakumar currently part of the Mumbai Indians squad. He reportedly remained back from the team’s travel to Raipur earlier this week due to family commitments surrounding the birth.
Mumbai Indians are yet to confirm his availability for their upcoming clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on May 10, leaving uncertainty over his return.
In MI’s previous match against Lucknow Super Giants, Suryakumar had led the side in the absence of regular captain Hardik Pandya, who missed the game due to a back spasm.
With Hardik still recovering and Suryakumar on paternity leave, Mumbai Indians may once again need a stand-in skipper for the high-stakes fixture against RCB.
