Suryakumar Yadav has found himself at the centre of fresh speculation after fans noticed major changes to his social media profile. The Indian batter reportedly removed several Mumbai Indians-related posts from Instagram and was also seen no longer following the franchise's official account, sparking rumours about a possible departure from the IPL side.
The development quickly caught the attention of cricket fans, with many questioning whether the star batter is preparing to end his long association with the Mumbai Indians. Reports also suggested that Suryakumar was not following MI captain Hardik Pandya's Instagram account, adding further intrigue to the situation.
Difficult phase for the star batter
The speculation comes after a challenging IPL 2026 campaign for Suryakumar. One of the Mumbai Indians' most reliable performers over the years, he struggled to produce his best form during the season. He scored 270 runs at an average of 20.77 as the Mumbai Indians endured a disappointing campaign and finished ninth on the points table.

Suryakumar has been an important member of the Mumbai Indians since returning to the franchise in 2018. During that period, he established himself as one of the team's most dependable batters and played a key role in several successful campaigns.
Until either the player or the franchise addresses the speculation, questions about Suryakumar's future with the Mumbai Indians are likely to continue dominating conversations among fans.
