Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: Star batter Suryakumar Yadav has arrived in Raipur and joined the Mumbai Indians squad in hours before their crucial IPL 2026 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru takes place at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in the evening.

Suryakumar and his wife, Devisha Shetty, welcomed their daughter Riddhima on May 7 and it led to doubts over whether he would join MI for their clash against RCB. “Surya Dada arrives in Raipur,” wrote MI on their social media accounts on Sunday.

At the Mumbai airport, before leaving for Raipur, Suryakumar was seen distributing sweets to media persons to celebrate the birth of his daughter. “Yeh lo, aap log khaana yeh (Have this, you guys please eat it),” he said, while handing out boxes of sweets in a generous gesture that quickly went viral on social media.
