Suryakumar Yadav opened up about the challenge his wife has given him after he wanted to ink a new tattoo following India's T20 World Cup triumph in 2024.

The dashing batter was a key member of the T20 World Cup-winning side in the Americas as he grabbed an incredible catch of David Miller in the final over to help India lift the coveted trophy.

Speaking at the India Today Conclave 2025, Suryakumar was asked about his fondness for tattoos and if he got a new one after the World Cup win last year.

In reply, the current Indian T20I captain said he hasn't got any new ones as his wife Devisha isn't a fan of them. Surya then revealed that his wife told him to get a new tattoo after doing something special in the 2026 edition of T20 World Cup.

"Increase, there's no increase in tattoos because now, I'm happily married and my wife, I think she's against all this. She's not allowing me to get any tattoos now any more. There's no particular reason, but I requested her post that T20 World Cup when we won that let me get something done on my hand. But she was like there's another World Cup coming in sometime. Do something special and get a tattoo," Suryakumar stated.

Suryakumar’s catch to dismiss Miller was one of the highlights of India's T20 World Cup 2024 final win over South Africa at Barbados.

Miller lofted a delivery from Hardik Pandya straight down the ground to give mini-heartbreak to the Indian fans. However, Suryakumar held his nerves and plucked a spectacular catch inches away from the boundary line at long-off.

Commenting on the catch, Surya said he watches it every hour or whenever he gets an opportunity to use the phone.

"I watch it every, every, every, every hour, whenever I get an opportunity to use the phone, I watch it a lot of times and I'm very grateful. I mean, there was, I could get to do something special for my country that day," said Suryakumar.
