Who Is Suryakumar Yadav's Wife Devisha? Classical Dancer, Met Him In Class, Backed His Fitness Shift

Suryakumar Yadav, popularly known as SKY, is one of the most talked-about names in Indian cricket today. The stylish batter has undoubtedly redefined India's T20 approach with his fearless batting, 360-degree shots and his ongoing captaincy stint in the Asia Cup 2025. His rise from domestic cricket to becoming the backbone of India's middle order is a story every cricket fan knows. 

But behind SKY's massive global success is the quiet, unwavering support of his wife, Devisha Shetty, who has stood by against all odds and reshaped his journey. Here's everything to know about her.

Who is Suryakumar Yadav's wife, Devisha Shetty? 

Devisha Shetty was born into a South Indian family in Mumbai, where her father, Devdas Shetty, was a hotelier. She grew up in an elite family that valued discipline, creativity, and culture. Devisha completed her education at Bombay Scottish School and later pursued higher studies at R.A. Podar College of Commerce and Economics, where fate brought her and Suryakumar together. She is a trained classical dancer with a deep passion for Bharatanatyam, and went on to become a dance coach in Mumbai. Apart from her love for the arts, she has been a volunteer for NGOs like The Lighthouse Project from 2013 to 2015, reflecting her concern for society. 

Beyond her work as a dancer and entrepreneur, Devisha is known among SKY's fans for her love of animals and cooking. She has inspired a lot of youngsters with her dance workshops in Mumbai and works towards promoting Indian classical culture. Unlike her husband, Devisha Shetty is a not a regular in the media spotlight. Instead, she lives a quiet, grounded and family-centric lifestyle in Mumbai.

How did Devisha Shetty inspire Suryakumar Yadav's fitness evolution? 

Devisha Shetty made a major contribution to her husband, Suryakumar Yadav's cricketing career. Back in 2019, when the ace Indian batsman was trying to restructure his career and realised the importance of fitness, she helped him take the transformation seriously. She encouraged him to shift from crash diets to a sustainable lifestyle. Devisha also worked on ensuring his disciplined eating and consistent workout routines. Surya has often credited her for guiding and creating balance in his personal life that allowed him to stay mindful about his fitness and helped him focus on his game. This shift played a big role in making SKY the player he is today. Talking to the Indian Express about SKY's fitness, she once said:

"It is not like on an everyday basis, he will eat dal chawal and roti sabzi. From 2019 onwards, he has taken this up more seriously. Whatever his name and fame are, they are on the ground. I tell him to leave all that outside. You will do normal things that normal people do when they are at home."

Suryakumar Yadav and Devisha Shetty's love story 

Suryakumar Yadav and Devisha Shetty first met in college, when the former's cricketing talent caught Devisha's eye. In turn, her graceful dancing impressed him. After years of togetherness, the two got engaged in May 2016 and tied the knot in July of the same year, in a traditional South Indian ceremony. On her big day, Devisha wore a pink Kanjeevaram saree and temple gold jewellery, while Suryakumar was dressed in a white kurta, a dhoti, and a safa.

Since then on the couple has supported each other through thick and thin becoming an ideal couple in the Indian cricketing world.
