In the middle of a high-intensity IPL season, India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav has received a heartwarming personal milestone—he has become a father to a baby girl. The cricketer shared the joyful news on social media, confirming that his wife, Devisha Shetty, delivered their daughter on Thursday. Both mother and child are reported to be in good health.
Currently representing Mumbai in the IPL, Suryakumar had taken sudden leave from the squad ahead of their upcoming clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday, citing personal reasons. The development initially raised curiosity among fans, which was soon followed by the confirmation of the birth of his child.
Speculation about Devisha’s pregnancy had been circulating for months. The first hints emerged during India’s T20 World Cup victory celebrations, when she was spotted at the stadium, prompting fans to notice visible signs of pregnancy. Social media further fueled the buzz, with several videos and images going viral.

More recently, clips from Devisha’s baby shower ceremony surfaced online, showing the couple arriving together at a decorated venue filled with guests. One particular frame displaying a baby shower invitation added to the growing certainty among fans that the couple was expecting.
Suryakumar and Devisha’s relationship dates back to 2010, and the couple tied the knot in 2016. Their journey has been one of patience and perseverance, both personally and professionally. Notably, Suryakumar had to wait until the age of 30 to earn his place in the Indian national team—a late but remarkable breakthrough.
Now, nearly a decade into their marriage, the couple has embraced parenthood, marking a new chapter in their lives. As fans and fellow cricketers pour in their congratulations, Suryakumar’s focus will soon return to the field—but for now, the spotlight is firmly on this joyous moment off it.
