After Rohit Sharma led India to win in the 2024 T20 World Cup, Suryakumar Yadav took over as captain and has been enjoying running the team. He will next be assigned to the white-ball tour against England, where the Men in Blue will host the team for a multi-format series beginning on January 22.
The Mumbai batsman is anticipated to captain the T20I team, where the Three Lions will face off in five games, even though the series’ roster has not yet been revealed. In addition, Suryakumar is making most of his free time to spend time with his family away from the field before he returns for national duty.
In order to obtain blessings at the Sai Baba Temple in Shirdi, Maharashtra, Suryakumar and his life partner were spotted there. On Thursday, January 9, Yadav and his wife Devisha Shetty were seen receiving blessings at the temple while being watched over by a few police officers in a video that went popular on social media.
Surya has taken advantage of the extended break to visit the Sai Baba Temple in Shirdi and ask for blessings because the India team has not yet been announced for the forthcoming series, which is still 13 days away.

The amazing 2024 T20I career of Suryakumar Yadav
With 18 games played and 429 runs scored, the skipper of India had an outstanding 2024 season in the game’s shortest version. Additionally, he recorded four half-centuries, the greatest of which was 75 against Bangladesh in the most recent three-match series. He is ranked number four in the ICC T20I rankings and has maintained an amazing strike-rate of 151.59.
He had a respectable run in the most recent T20 World Cup as well, scoring 199 runs at a strike rate of 135.37 from eight games, placing him among the top 10 run scorers in the competition. In addition, he produced one of the tournament’s most memorable moments when he made an incredible catch off David Miller on the boundary at long range, almost giving India a decisive victory in the Barbados final.
