Suryakumar Yadav, India’s captain, had an interesting discussion with a reporter after the Asia Cup 2025 match against Oman in Abu Dhabi on Friday. After the reporter indicated that the event was nearing its conclusion, Suryakumar stunned everyone in the press box with his characteristic, humorous response.
Team India finished the group stage with a perfect record, winning all three matches. Suryakumar and his teammates will now face Pakistan in a Super Four match in Dubai on Sunday, September 21.
Suryakumar, like his batting, set the stage on fire with an intriguing reaction to a question during a press conference.
“Arre dada, abhi to chalu hua hai yaar, business end kaise ho gaya? (The tournament just started, how is it business end already),” said Suryakumar.
He also voiced optimism about India’s preparations for their match against Pakistan, urging his squad to focus on each game individually rather than relying on previous victories.
“I feel our preparations have been excellent, leading into the tournament and we had 3 good games also, so we are actually focusing on what we can do best and as I said on the toss as well that we want to follow all the good habits, which we have been doing in the last 2-3 games and we will take one game at a time, but yeah, as you said, it doesn’t give us an edge, that we have played them once and we had a good game, so of course it will be a good game, we will have to start well from scratch and whoever plays well will win the game,” he added.
Suryakumar top-scored with an unbeaten 47 off 37 balls in India’s opening Asia Cup match, helping them chase down a 128-run mark in just 15.5 overs.
In eighth of the past nine T20Is between India and Pakistan, the chasing side has won. The only exception was last year’s T20 World Cup match in New York, which India won batting first.
