Suryakumar Yadav isn’t spiteful. Just hours after getting sacked as India’s T20I captain and dropped from the team, the 2-time T20 World Cup winner wished the best to Team India. Although he didn’t mention Shreyas Iyer, his replacement as skipper, one can’t forget that he shared the dressing room with most of the other members of the squad.
Suryakumar Yadav takes it on the chin
But there’s no bad blood between him and Shreyas. They have shared the Mumbai dressing room in domestic cricket with each other for over a decade now. It wasn’t as if Shreyas forced him out, since he wasn’t even in the team during the T20 World Cup 2026. In fact, it was Suryakumar’s silent willow that made the selectors look elsewhere.
Later in the day, Suryakumar, who’s the captain of the Triumphs Knights in the T20 Mumbai League 2026, stated that he’s elated for Shreyas and proud that it’s a Mumbai cricketer who has replaced him as India’s T20I captain.
“Very happy for Shreyas Iyer. We played a lot of cricket for Mumbai and India together. Most importantly, there are 3 back-to-back T20I captains for India from Mumbai now, and it is a very proud moment for all of us at Mumbai Cricket,” Suryakumar said after winning the toss against Mumbai Falcons at the Wankhede Stadium.

Suryakumar also congratulated Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who received his maiden India call-up and will become the youngest debutant in India’s cricket history, breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s 37-year-old record at just 15 years old.
“You have earned it all and how. Super excited to follow your journey,” Suryakumar wrote.
