Suryakumar Yadav Blessed with Baby Girl: MI Star Likely to Miss RCB Clash

Indian T20 International captain Suryakumar Yadav and his wife Devisha Shetty have been blessed with a baby girl. The couple welcomed their first child amidst the ongoing IPL 2026 season. Suryakumar, who recently led the Indian cricket team to a historic T20 World Cup 2026 title, is now celebrating this significant personal milestone. Known for his explosive 360-degree batting style on the field, the star cricketer is currently focusing on his new role as a father, leaving his participation in the upcoming Indian Premier League matches uncertain.

The Love Story of Suryakumar and Devisha

Suryakumar Yadav tied the knot with Devisha Shetty in 2016. A resident of Mumbai, Suryakumar completed his education in the same city, where he first met Devisha. Their love story dates back to their college days. Devisha Shetty was known for her passion for dancing during her time in college, while it's reported that Suryakumar was immensely impressed by one of Devisha's dance performances at a college event, which marked the beginning of their relationship. This college romance eventually culminated in marriage nearly eight years ago.

Viral Baby Shower and Pregnancy Announcement

In March this year, a video of Devisha Shetty’s baby shower went viral across various social media platforms, while the footage showed Suryakumar and Devisha entering a decorated hall together, confirming the news of Devisha's pregnancy to the public. While Suryakumar Yadav's performance in IPL 2026 has not been up to his usual high standards so far, the arrival of the new family member has brought immense joy to the household. The couple had been eagerly awaiting the birth of their daughter since the news became public earlier this year.

Uncertainty Over Participation in MI vs RCB Match

Mumbai Indians are currently struggling with poor form in the IPL 2026 season. The team has managed to secure only 3 victories out of the 10 matches played so far. Their next scheduled fixture is against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on May 10, which is set to take place in Raipur. According to recent media reports, Suryakumar Yadav has not traveled with the squad to Raipur. Given the birth of his daughter, it's widely believed that he will opt out of this match to be with his family. This potential absence could be a significant blow to the Mumbai Indians' lineup as they look to improve their standing in the tournament.

As the news of the birth spreads, fans and the cricketing fraternity have been pouring in their wishes for the couple. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians will have to find a way to compete against RCB without their star batter if his absence from the Raipur clash is officially confirmed.
