After India’s triumph in the Asia Cup 2025 final against Pakistan, where India won by 5 wickets, a press conference was held with Captain Suryakumar Yadav and Player of the Tournament Abhishek Sharma. A notable exchange occurred when a Pakistani journalist questioned Yadav, voicing criticisms rather than asking a straightforward question. The journalist raised concerns about Yadav’s interactions with the Pakistani team, referencing the absence of handshakes and photo opportunities, and accused Yadav of conducting a politically charged press conference. Yadav’s response was considered measured and astute, first showing a smile before providing a candid reply. This response was seen as a subtle yet effective way of addressing the journalist’s concerns. During the tournament, Suryakumar Yadav’s on-field performance was not outstanding, managing to score only 60 runs. However, as captain, he ensured the team’s undefeated run throughout the tournament, leading them to win the Asia Cup.
