Smiles On People Faces Back Home Is Our Trophy: SKY Reacts On Asia Cup Trophy Row
India T20I: India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav responded to the Asia Cup trophy row following their five-wicket win over Pakistan in the final, stating that the team's main goal was to play good cricket and win. He emphasised that whether they received the trophy or not was unimportant, adding that seeing smiling faces back home is the real reward for the team.
After beating Pakistan in the summit clash, the Indian team refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy during the presentation ceremony from ACC chief Naqvi, who also serves as the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Asian Cricket Council, and Pakistan’s Interior Minister.
When the presentation ceremony began, which started after a 90-minute delay, India spinner Kuldeep Yadav, opener Abhishek Sharma, and batter Tilak Varma received their individual awards from other dignitaries on stage. When Naqvi stepped onto the dais, the Indian team made it clear they would not accept the trophy from him. Moments later, the trophy was removed from the venue, leaving the champions without their prize.
