Suryakumar's response to no hands shake row
India captain Suryakumar Yadav put a Pakistani reporter in his place for questioning Team India during the press conference after the Asia Cup 2025 final. The Pakistani reporter questioned Suryakumar for ignoring Pakistan team. The Men in Blue did not shake hands with the Men in Green in any of the games. India also boycotted Mohsin Naqvi, who is the chairman of the Asian Cricket Council.
The Indian media manager asked Suryakumar to ignore the question, but he came up with a funny response to it. "Gussa ho rahe ho aap, (you are getting angry)" Suryakumar responded as he and media personnel burst into laughter.
