Suryakumar Yadav becomes father, wife Devisha gives birth to baby girl

Suryakumar Yadav might miss out on the MI vs RCB encounter on May 10, with his wife giving birth to a baby girl on Thursday.

Team India’s T20I skipper and MI batter, Suryakumar Yadav and his wife Devisha Shetty were blessed with a baby girl on Thursday, May 7, as per Times of India. Due to this development, he looks all set to miss MI’s next match on May 10, vs RCB in Raipur, and hasn’t travelled with the team, as per various reports. But then, the good news for Surya comes, while he himself was going through a rough patch in the IPL 2026.

Suryakumar Yadav becomes father

In 10 matches so far, he has only scored 195 runs, at an average of 19, while the strike-rate has been poor at 145. That is reflecting in Mumbai’s overall performance as well, with MI lying in 9th place on the points table, with only three wins to their name. They still have a remote chance of qualifying for the playoffs, but not having Surya, and even Hardik Panyda, at least for the next match… problems could only mount for them.

MI batter likely to miss LSG encounter

There also arises the question, as to who would be the stand-in captain? Surya had led the side in Pandya’s absence, in the last match vs LSG. The options remaining are, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Tilak Varma. According to another report, some foreign players have not travelled to the next venue as well, while it remains unclear, what is the reason behind that, or who they are.

This year, the stalwarts of MI have failed miserably — where Pandya’s own performance has been pathetic, picking only four wickets, and scoring only 146 runs. Bumrah on the other hand, has picked up only three wickets. Tilak, barring a century early in the competition, has nothing much to show.
