New Delhi: The Indian team’s star player, Suryakumar Yadav, turned 34 on Saturday. Family, friends, and fans are extending birthday wishes to the swashbuckling batsman.
BCCI Secretary Jay Shah expressed his confidence in India’s T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, on his birthday. He wished Suryakumar, stating that he’s excited to see him lead the team to more wins in the shortest format. This reassures the fans of Suryakumar’s leadership and the team’s future victories.
“Happy Birthday to our T20I skipper and Mr. 360 with the bat, @surya_14kumar! I’m excited to see you lead the Men in Blue to many victories in the shortest format. Best wishes for the year ahead!” wrote Shah on his ‘X’ account.
Suryakumar, the top-ranked player in the men’s T20I rankings, has left an indelible mark on cricket history. His stunning relay catch at long-off of David Miller in this year’s T20 World Cup final at Kensington Oval in Barbados, a moment that will be remembered for generations, paved the way for India to end an 11-year drought of winning a global title. His achievements are a source of pride and inspiration for all cricket enthusiasts.

Devisha Shetty, Suryakumar’s wife, also posted a heartfelt note on her Instagram account on the right-handed batter’s birthday. “Happy birthday to my best friend, husband, lover, my world, and the best decision of my life! Thankful for you every single day. You make this world a better place and I don’t know what I’d do without you. Love you now and forever,” she wrote.
Since his international debut in 2021, Suryakumar, also known as SKY, has firmly established himself as one of the greats of T20I batting, though his ODI and Test career hasn’t reached those heights yet. Suryakumar has been out of action after sustaining a hand injury during Mumbai’s match against TNCA XI at the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament in Coimbatore, leading him to miss the ongoing Duleep Trophy.
On the international cricket front, Suryakumar is set to return to action, leading India in three T20Is against Bangladesh in Gwalior, New Delhi, and Hyderabad on October 6, 9, and 12, respectively. His return is eagerly anticipated, especially after the last time Bangladesh toured India in 2019, when they lost the three-match T20I series 2-1. This news brings a sense of excitement and hope for the upcoming matches.
