Suryakumar Yadav of the post-match conference of the India VS Pakistan Asia Cup final rejected the word of bad shape with the bat and rather underlined the success of the team, saying that they realized what they wanted.
India beat Pakistan three times in the 2025 Asian Cup, and under the direction of Suryakumar Yadav, India won its 9th title in Asia. This victory would largely strengthen Surya’s confidence as a skipper before the ICC T20 2025 World Cup.
“I think I’m not out of shape, I think I’m out of course,” said Suryakumar Yadav
The Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav only scored 72 points in 6 sleeves that he played in Asia for India. With the exception of an undefeated 47 * against Pakistan, Sky could not bring out his best in the Asian Cup.
Your daily cricket dose!
However, despite its average fall at 18 and a strike rate of 101.41, Suryakumar feels that it is not disconnected but rather out of races. He showed remarkable confidence as a dough.
“I think I’m not out of shape, I think I’m out of racing,” said Suryakumar at the post-match press conference, after his team won a five-looking victory against Pakistan in Dubai to win the title. “I no longer believe in what I do in the nets and my preparation. So in matches, things are on the automatic pilot.”
Abhishek Sharma praises the qualities of leadership of Suryakumar Yadav
The Indian opener Abhishek Sharma was the best find for India in this Asian Cup. This time, Abhishek showed why he could dominate any opposition in the world. The striker scored more than 300 points in 7 games and scored three scores of 70+ with a dazzling strike rate of more than 200.
Abhishek praised his captain because he said that Suryakumar Yadav never lets his form of a striker to assign his usual attitude of captain.
“I felt personally that when you do not score points, it is difficult to pass the team. But Surya Bhai is the same, whether he has marked races or not,” said Abhishek at the press conference.
“What we wanted to achieve in this tournament, we have achieved,” said the Indian skipper
However, despite all the criticisms of its striking form, the Indian skipper was satisfied with how his team responded at various times of pressure throughout the tournament. He also said that their efforts throughout the tournament had led to a “perfect final”.
“What we wanted to achieve in this tournament, we have achieved,” he said. “There are a lot of things that you cannot do in a bilateral tournament. It was like a direct elimination tournament,” said Suryakumar.
India has not lost a single match in the Asian Cup, and since Suryakumar Yadav took over the Indian captain, they have never lost a bilateral series against an opposition.
“As soon as we entered the Super Four, I told the boys that we approve it like a quarter-final, in the semi-finals and final. So we played a type of match in the semi-final against Sri Lanka, then it was a perfect final. There is nerves, responsibilities and pressure, and it was a perfect final,” concluded Sky.
