Bollywood actress Khushi Mukherjee, known for her appearances in films and the popular reality show MTV Splitsvilla, has sparked headlines after making a bold statement about India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav. Speaking to the media at a recent event, Khushi claimed that the star batter had earlier messaged her frequently, although they no longer stay in touch.
When asked whether she would ever consider dating a cricketer, Khushi firmly dismissed the idea, stating she is not interested in relationship speculation or social media link-ups. She added that she prefers to stay away from unnecessary attention regarding her personal life, remarking that she does not want to be associated romantically with any cricketer. Her comments have since circulated widely online, but Suryakumar Yadav has not issued any response to the claims so far.
Suryakumar Yadav Embarks On Spiritual Journey With Wife
Even as the statement gained traction, Suryakumar Yadav appeared unfazed by the chatter, choosing instead to focus on faith and family. Along with his wife Devisha Shetty, the Indian captain visited the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh, on the auspicious occasion of Vaikuntha Ekadashi.
The couple participated in the sacred rituals, walked through the revered Vaikuntha Dwaram, and received blessings from the temple priests. Dressed traditionally and maintaining a humble demeanour, the pair’s visit drew warm appreciation from devotees and temple officials, highlighting the deep cultural and spiritual grounding that many Indian athletes maintain despite their demanding schedules.
On-Field Focus: India Gear Up For Busy T20 Calendar
Away from the off-field buzz, Suryakumar Yadav continues to command attention for the right reasons on the cricket pitch. He recently led India to an impressive 3–1 T20I series win against South Africa, displaying confident leadership and aggressive intent.
Next, he will once again take charge as India face New Zealand in a five-match T20I series in January 2026. The contests will be crucial preparation for both sides ahead of the T20 World Cup starting on February 7, where India will enter as defending champions, having clinched the title in 2024 after a memorable win against South Africa in the final.
With Khushi Mukherjee’s claims creating conversation and fans awaiting a possible clarification, Suryakumar Yadav appears focused on faith, family, and cricket, priorities that continue to define his journey on and off the field. As India builds toward another major T20 campaign, all eyes will remain on the captain’s form, leadership, and composure amid both sporting challenges and public attention.
