Suryakumar Yadav, who held the captaincy mantle for India after Rohit Sharma to T20 World Cup 2024 win, has been enjoying his time as a leader of the pack. The next assignment for him will be at the white-ball tour against England, where the Men in Blue host the side for a multi-format series, starting January 22.

Although the squad for the series is yet to be announced, the Mumbai batter is expected to lead the T20I side, where the Three Lions will cross swords across five matches. And since there is some off time before Suryakumar reunites for national duties, he is using his time to spend some personal time off the field with his family.

Suryakumar, along with his life partner, was seen visiting Shirdi in the state of Maharashtra, to seek the blessings at the Sai Baba Temple. In a video recently going viral on social media on Thursday, January 09, Yadav and wife Devisha Shetty were spotted taking blessings at the temple while a couple of police officers guarded the duo.

The India squad is yet to be announced for the upcoming series which is still 13 days away, Surya has used the long break to visit the Sai Baba Temple in Shirdi and seek blessings.

He also had four half-centuries, with the highest being 75, which came against Bangladesh during the recent three-match series. He has also maintained an incredible strike-rate of 151.59 and is number four in the ICC T20I rankings.
