Exclusive: Pakistan players crossed line, we responded with our cricket, says Suryakumar Yadav

1. 1. India’s T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav and the other Indian players returned home on Tuesday (September 30) after winning the Asia Cup, beating arch-rivals Pakistan in the final. However, they returned to India without the Asia Cup trophy after refusing to accept it from ACC Chief and PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi. Interestingly, Naqvi walked away with the trophy in the presentation ceremony and has kept it with him since then. Meanwhile, Surya has now revealed that the Pakistan players crossed the line during matches but the men in blue responded only with their cricket.

      In an exclusive interview with India TV, Suryakumar Yadav made it clear that the entire Indian contingent waited to collect the trophy during the presentation ceremony, and they didn’t make anyone wait unnecessarily. “A little bit of aggression here and there is fine, but they (Pakistan players) crossed the line, we didn’t, and responded to them with our cricket,” Surya said.
