Team India batter Suryakumar Yadav’s wife, Devisha Shetty’s Instagram story has been the talk on social media, amid the change in captaincy at the Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise. She later deleted the Instagram story.
The Mumbai Indians on Friday, December 15, announced Hardik Pandya as their captain for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. He was traded in from the Gujarat Titans during the trading window in an all-cash deal. Hardik who led the Gujarat Titans for the last two seasons, will replace Rohit as Mumbai Indians captain. Several fans are unhappy with the captaincy change. Suryakumar’s wife Devisha’s Instagram story is also being linked to it.
“The way you treat people will always be remembered,” read the Instagram story.
Devisha Shetty’s Instagram story has since been deleted. Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav shared a broken heart emoji on Instagram and ‘X’ (Twitter). The post also led to speculations about Suryakumar Yadav being unhappy with the recent developments in the Mumbai Indians squad. The Indian batter was a strong contender to replace Rohit Sharma as the captain of the Mumbai Indians in the upcoming years. However, the franchise decided to trade in Hardik to become the skipper.
