There was no trophy given to the Indian team as they refused to collect it from the ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi, as he is also one of the ministers of Pakistan. Eventually, the Indian team did wait for more than 50 minutes as they later began their celebrations without the trophy. The Indian captain found it very strange. He said he saw for the first time that when a team won, no trophy was given.
We didn’t get the trophy at last, but the biggest happiness is India won the Asia Cup, the entire country is celebrating
He also spoke about how both teams are different, as we did not create any bad gestures towards our opponents. Suryakumar also said we came to play and played with dignity. He also shared his relationship with his coach, Gautam Gambhir. Suryakumar Yadav said that both of them have a relationship of a younger brother and an elder brother.
There has to be a difference between the two sides. We never did any such gesture at any moment as we wanted to play this game with dignity. We just wanted to play good brand of cricket
Gautam Gambhir and my relationship in like younger and elder brothers. I have learnt so many things from him. Learnt captaincy tips from him. He knows what goes on in a player’s mind on ground. He knows how to protect cricketers. Whenever I am on the ground, I look at the dug out every 2-3 overs. I look at him. As soon as he signals anything from outside, I just do it
