Suryakumar Yadav's cheeky dig at Mohsin Naqvi over Asia Cup 2025 row; ‘feels great to finally get to touch the trophy…’

As the Asia Cup 2025 trophy row still continues, India captain Suryakumar Yadav took a cheeky dig at Mohsin Naqvi after the Men in Blue reigned supreme against Australia, winning the T20I series 2-1. After the series opener was washed out, Australia took the lead by winning the second game. However, India bounced back with back-to-back wins before final T20I on Saturday in Brisbane was abandoned due to rain.

Following his first series win on Australian soil, Suryakumar jokingly told reporters, “It feels great to finally get to touch the trophy. Felt it in my hands, when I was handed over the trophy for the series victory" at the post-match press conference. Suryakumar's remarks were aimed at Naqvi, who took away the Asia Cup 2025 trophy with him after the Indian team won the Asia Cup 2025.

For the unknown, the Asia Cup 2025 trophy is still at the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) headquarters in Dubai, with the BCCI and ACC still fighting for it. Naqvi is the chairman of the ACC and the Pakistan Cricket Board. He is also an interior minister of Pakistan.

The Indian captain also acknowledged the India women's World Cup triumph. "A few days back another trophy arrived in India our women's team has won the World Cup. That trophy has also arrived back home. It feels great and getting to touching this trophy as well feels good,” he said.
