Indian Captain Suryakumar Yadav’s Response to Pakistani Journalist After Asia Cup Victory

India’s victory in the Asia Cup 2025 final against Pakistan marked the end of the tournament, with India winning by 5 wickets. In the post-match press conference, Captain Suryakumar Yadav and Player of the Tournament Abhishek Sharma were present. A Pakistani journalist directed a question towards Suryakumar Yadav that was more a display of frustration. The journalist questioned Yadav’s actions, particularly concerning the lack of customary interactions like handshakes and photo sessions, and the conduct of a press conference perceived as politically motivated. Yadav responded calmly, initially smiling before delivering a considered reply. The response was widely viewed as a measured answer to the journalist’s criticism. Despite Suryakumar Yadav’s personal scoring of only 60 runs in the tournament, his captaincy ensured India’s unbeaten run and ultimate triumph in the Asia Cup.
