“I have decided to donate my match fees from this tournament to support our Armed Forces and the families of the victims who suffered from the Pahalgam terror attack. You always remain in my thoughts. Jai Hind,” Suryakumar Yadav tweeted.

It is worth noting that several controversial moments ensued after India defeated Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final. Winning the title, the Men in Blue refused to step onto the dais, as they did not want to receive the trophy from PCB and ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi.
Suryakumar Yadav opened up on not receiving Asia Cup trophy
Notably, due to the Indian team not stepping onto the dais to take the title, Mohsin Naqvi, who was supposed to hand out the trophy, went on to leave and even took the trophy with him. India celebrated without the title, and reflecting on the same, Suryakumar Yadav claimed that this was the first time he had witnessed something of the sort.
“I think this is one thing that I have never seen since I started playing cricket, since I started following cricket, that a champion team is denied to get a trophy. I mean that, too, a hard-earned one…I feel we deserved it and I can’t say anything more,” Suryakumar Yadav said in the post-match press conference.
