After losing T20I captaincy, Surya unfollows MI and Hardik, hinting at leaving the team.
Suryakumar Yadav has unfollowed Mumbai Indians and the team's captain, Hardik Pandya, from his official Instagram account.
This change was quickly noticed by fans, and the news went viral in no time. His move is being seen as a sign of him leaving MI.
Not only this, but Surya has also removed almost all pictures and posts related to Mumbai Indians from his profile. Now, only one old picture related to MI remains on his account, in which he is seen with Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni.
Suryakumar Yadav has been an integral part of Mumbai Indians since 2018. He has played a crucial role in winning many matches for the team.
However, the IPL 2026 season was quite disappointing for him. He scored only 270 runs at a modest average of 20.77, which included only two half-centuries.
The team's performance was also very poor, and they finished ninth in the points table. It is believed that due to his poor form, the management might now be considering new options for the future.
Meanwhile, veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has reacted to Surya being dropped from the T20I team and Shreyas Iyer being appointed as the new captain.
Ashwin said, "If I put myself in Surya's shoes, I can understand how disappointed he must be at this moment. It's true that his bat hasn't performed in the last 15-18 months, but he led the country to a T20 World Cup victory under his captaincy. The selectors should have respected that."
Suryakumar's social media action has raised many questions about his and Mumbai Indians' future. Fans are now waiting to see if Surya will actually leave MI or if this is just a temporary reaction. Only time will reveal the truth.
