Year of Highs
2026 has already been a momentous year for the 35-year-old cricketer. Earlier in January, he led the Indian national team to a historic T20 World Cup title, defeating New Zealand in the final at Ahmedabad. Adding a “little princess” to the family further cements 2026 as one of the most memorable years of his life.
Suryakumar and Devisha, who were college sweethearts after meeting at Mumbai’s R. A. Podar College of Commerce and Economics in 2010, tied the knot in July 2016. Their journey of a decade-long partnership has now reached this beautiful new milestone.
Fraternity Wishes
As the news broke, social media was flooded with congratulatory messages from teammates, former cricketers, and fans. While Mumbai Indians will miss his services on the field in the coming days, the franchise and the cricketing community have sent their warmest regards to the new parents.
