IND vs PAK LIVE: Suryakumar Yadav’s wife Devisha Shetty reveals SECRET behind transformation to SKY, credits Mumbai Indians stint – Check why?
Speaking to Indian Express ahead of the India vs Pakistan clash, Suryakumar Yadav’s wife talks about the Mumbai batter’s transformation. The 32-year-old rose to prominence with KKR before a switch to Mumbai Indians in 2018 changed his life forever. Backed by captain Rohit Sharma and the team management, Surya had a consistent run at the top of the order enjoying his then-career-best season.
“You tend to enjoy life more in your early 20s, all of that comes in. But then things changed a bit, he started taking everything a little more seriously; 2018 was a great year batting-wise for Mumbai Indians,” says Devisha Shetty on SKY’s rise to prominence.
She added, “The commitment meant not just signing up for deepening his resolve to play for India, but leaving behind an entire way of indulgent, hedonistic life. He has no vices now, he may have had when he was younger, but he is much more in control of himself now,” said Devisha candidly.

Devisha says that Suryakumar was not strict with his fitness before but then took diet and workout more seriously in the years to come. She reveals that post-2019, SKY turned his diet into a lifestyle.
She revealed, “He would work out earlier but he would not be that strict with what he was eating. There would be phases, he would crash-diet for two-three months, he would get into shape and then he would stop the diet. But now for him, it has become a lifestyle. It is no longer just a diet that he has to follow.”

“It is not like on an everyday basis he will eat dal chawal and roti sabzi. From 2019 onwards, he has taken this up more seriously. Whatever his name and fame is, are on the ground. I tell him you leave all that outside, you will do normal things that normal people do when they are at home,” Devisha says.
Heading into the T20 World Cup, Suryakumar Yadav is being widely acknowledged as perhaps the best T20 batsman in the world currently, and expectations are he’ll light up the tournament with his 360-degree range of strokes. Since the 2021 T20 World Cup, the 32-year-old has scored 864 at an eye-popping strike rate of 180. Only Mohammad Rizwan has more, that too at a sedate 127.
