Mumbai. For Suryakumar Yadav, who made India champions in the T20 World Cup 2026, the period after the title win was not easy. Poor form forced him out of the Indian team. Losing his place in the team after winning the World Cup was a difficult setback for him. He admitted that the first two months were extremely tough. During this period, the birth of his daughter and the support of his wife Devisha Shetty gave him a new direction.
At the ‘T20 Mumbai League Celebrating the Champions’ programme held in Mumbai, Suryakumar said his focus changed after the birth of his daughter and that a few months of life were extremely beautiful. During this time, he spoke to 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 when he dreamed of playing for Mumbai’s Under-15 team at the age of 15.
Suryakumar said that after this advice, he has started focusing on his old training routines and the joy of playing. His aim now is to win matches for Mumbai and help the team win the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title. He will captain Mumbai in this tournament.
He also gave a message to young cricketers that their first dream should not be the IPL, but to play for their city, state and country.
