Asia Cup Trophy Controversy

The controversy surrounding the Asia Cup trophy re-emerged during the fifth T20 match between Australia and India at The Gabba in Brisbane. India clinched the T20 series with a 2-1 victory on Saturday. Following the match, India's T20 captain, Suryakumar Yadav, expressed his joy, stating, 'It feels fantastic to finally hold the trophy. After winning the series, when it was handed to me, I truly felt its presence in my hands.'

Despite having triumphed over Pakistan to secure the Asia Cup title, the Indian team had yet to receive the trophy until Saturday. After finally obtaining it, Suryakumar made a pointed remark towards Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, which has sparked discussions across the cricket community.

Celebrating Women's Cricket Success

Recently, the Indian women's cricket team achieved victory in the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup. In light of this, Suryakumar remarked, 'Just days ago, another trophy came to India. Our women's team won the World Cup, and that trophy is now in the country. It feels wonderful to touch a trophy.'

Support for Women's Cricket

Suryakumar also highlighted the overwhelming support for the women's team following their World Cup win, stating, 'I witnessed the incredible reception the women's team received after their recent World Cup victory in India. Playing at home comes with immense pressure, but it also brings excitement and responsibility. We always feel the backing of our fans when competing on Indian soil.' As the Indian team prepares for the upcoming T20 World Cup on home turf, Suryakumar has already begun strategizing for the tournament.
