Suryakumar Yadav Expected to Leave RISE Worldwide Amid Mumbai Indians Speculation
Suryakumar Yadav, former India T20I captain, is reportedly set to part ways with sports management agency RISE Worldwide, which is linked to Reliance Industries—the owner of the Mumbai Indians IPL franchise. This development arises amid uncertainty about Yadav's future with Mumbai Indians following a difficult IPL 2026 season where the team finished ninth and missed the playoffs. Yadav struggled for consistency, scoring 270 runs in 13 innings compared to his standout 2025 performance. He has been with RISE Worldwide since 2021, which manages his commercial activities but not his on-field contracts. As of now, there has been no official confirmation of Yadav ending his relationship with the agency or leaving Mumbai Indians, but the speculation has generated considerable attention.
