Suryakumar dropped after leading India to T20 World Cup title, wife’s advice changed his outlook
Mumbai. The period after victory has not been easy for captain Suryakumar Yadav, who led the Indian cricket team to the T20 World Cup 2026 title. Soon after making India champions in the World Cup final, he had to be left out of the national team because of poor form. The decision affected him deeply on an emotional level. However, the birth of his daughter and advice from his wife Devisha Shetty helped him come out of this difficult phase.
Suryakumar felt the blow of being left out of the team. Speaking openly about his difficult phase at an event held in Mumbai on November 11, he said the first two months after winning the World Cup were extremely tough for him. Being left out of Team India was disappointing, but he accepted his emotions and decided to focus on the game again.
Suryakumar said his life changed with the birth of his daughter. He said that during IPL 2026, a daughter was born in his family on May 7. After that, his entire attention shifted to caring for his daughter and his family. He said the months after his daughter’s arrival were among the most beautiful periods of his life. That happiness also helped him recover from the disappointment linked to cricket.
Suryakumar said his wife Devisha reminded him of his old passion. He said he discussed his career and future with Devisha. She reminded him that he should 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. Her advice gave him a new direction.
Suryakumar said he is now practising as before and enjoying the game. His next target is to lead Mumbai to the title while captaining the team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The tournament will begin on November 14. He also advised young players that instead of only dreaming of playing in the IPL, they should first dream of representing their city and country.
