Amid the heated atmosphere post PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi’s bizarre antics of walking away with the Asia Cup Trophy and medals after India refused to accept the awards from the Pakistani Interior Minister, Suryakumar Yadav kept his calm and showed his witty side when there was an attempt to draw a reaction from a journalist.

A Pakistani reporter questioned India captain Surya’s ‘behaviour’ towards the Pakistani team during the tournament as the champions refused to shake their hands in light of the heightened tensions between the two countries following the Pahalgam terror attack earlier this year. The scribe also alleged that Surya is the first captain in cricket history to mix politics and the game.

Aaj aap champion bane, achi game kheli aapne. Lekin sawal ye hai ki aapne is porey tournament mai aapka behaviour raha Pakistan team ke saath, aapne handshake nahi kiya. Phir trophy ke liye aapne photo-session nahi kiya, phir aapne siyasi press conference ki. Aap pehle captain hain jinhone cricket ke andar siyasat lekar aaye,” the journalist said.

Suryakumar, after wondering what the question was, replied, “Gussa ho rahe ho aap! Sawal pata he nahi chala aapka. Aapne chaar questions puch liye. (You are getting angry. I didn’t get what the question was. You asked four.)

Surya Blasts PCB Chairman

In a stunning development, ACC chairman Mohsin Naqvi stormed out of the Dubai International Cricket Stadium after Indian team refused to share the stage with him during the presentation ceremony. Naqvi also took away the trophy and team medals meant for the victorious Indian cricket team.

Naturally, Surya was aghast and lashed out the shocking turn of events.

“I think this is one thing which I have never seen since I started playing and following cricket that a champion team is denied a trophy. I mean that too a hard-earned one. It’s not like it happened easily. It was a hard earned tournament win,” Suryakumar responded to a query on how it felt being denied the trophy after winning seven games at the continental showpiece.

“We were here since September 4, we played a game today. Two back-to-back good games in two days. I feel we deserved it. And I can’t say anything more. I think I have summed it up really well,” he added.
