Bollywood actress and model Khushi Mukherjee has made a public statement involving Suryakumar Yadav, the captain of India's men's T20I cricket team. She claimed that the star batter frequently sent her messages in the past, though she emphasized they are no longer in contact.
The Revelation at a Public Event
Speaking at a recent event, Khushi Mukherjee was asked by a reporter if she had any interest in dating a cricketer. She firmly dismissed the idea, stating her desire to avoid any links with players. "I don't want to date any cricketer. There are so many cricketers after me. Suryakumar Yadav used to message me a lot," Khushi revealed. She further clarified the current nature of their interaction, adding, "Now we don't talk much, and I don't even want to be associated. I don't like any link-ups involving me." As of now, Suryakumar Yadav has not publicly responded to these claims.
Suryakumar Yadav's Recent Activities
Amidst these personal claims, Suryakumar Yadav's professional and personal life continues forward. Recently, he and his wife, Devisha Shetty, visited the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh. The couple offered prayers on the auspicious occasion of Vaikuntha Ekadashi.
On the cricket field, Suryakumar last represented India in the T20I series against South Africa, where he led the team to a commanding 3-1 series victory. His next major assignment is set for January 2026, where he will captain India in a five-match T20I series against New Zealand. This series is crucial as it serves as preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup, which begins on February 7, 2026. India will enter this tournament as the defending champion, having won the 2024 T20 World Cup in Barbados by defeating South Africa in a thrilling final.
