Mumbai, Nov. 10 -- Suryakumar Yadav admitted that losing his place in the India T20 side after leading the side to the 2026 T20 World Cup was a very difficult phase for him.

Talking at the T20 Mumbai League event held on Tuesday to felicitate the tournament winners, Surya said: "Post the T20 World Cup, it has been a little difficult. I don't want to run away from the fact...if you're not honest to yourself, it's very difficult to lead a happy life. To be very honest, it has been very difficult but then at the same time, during IPL I was blessed with a baby girl in May. So, the focus shifted completely towards her. So, the last few months since she's born have been very beautiful."
