Mumbai. The period after the title victory was not easy for Suryakumar Yadav, who led India to the T20 World Cup 2026 championship. Poor form forced him out of the Indian team. Losing his place in the side after helping India win the World Cup was a difficult setback for him. He admitted that the first two months were extremely tough. During this phase, the birth of his daughter and the support of his wife, Devisha Shetty, gave him a new direction.
Speaking at the ‘T20 Mumbai League Celebrating the Champions’ event held in Mumbai, Suryakumar said his focus changed after the birth of his daughter and that a few months of life were very beautiful. During this period, he spoke with his wife Devisha about his cricket career and future. Devisha advised him to bring back the same love and passion for cricket that he had at the age of 15, when he dreamed of playing for Mumbai’s Under-15 team.
Suryakumar said that after this advice, he has started focusing again on his old practice routines and the joy of playing the game. His aim now is to win matches for Mumbai and help the team win the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He will captain Mumbai in this tournament.
He also gave a message to young cricketers, saying their first dream should not be the IPL, but to play for their city, state and country.
