- Suryakumar Yadav said Thursday on X and Instagram, “With giggles, bows, and dreams to unfurl, we welcome our baby girl,” confirming the birth of his first child with wife Devisha Shetty.
- Mumbai Indians congratulated the family, and the senior batter stayed back in Mumbai this week instead of traveling with the squad to Raipur.
- The club has not confirmed whether he will play against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday, May 10, leaving his status for the next IPL match unresolved.
- Reports differ on who would lead if he sits out, with Times Now saying Hardik Pandya is set to rejoin and captain in Raipur and other outlets flagging Jasprit Bumrah as an option if needed.
