Viral Video Reveals This Team India Star Asks Suryakumar to Celebrate Asia Cup Win Like Rohit | Cricket News

The Indian cricket team had no other option than to celebrate their Asia Cup victory with an imaginary trophy. Suryakumar Yadav & Co. were denied the trophy after they refused to accept it from ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi, who also happens to be a minister in the Pakistan government.

On Sunday, drama unfolded when India refused to take the trophy from Naqvi while the Pakistani team delayed the post-match presentation. The runners-up were awarded with medallions, but India didn’t receive any. However, it didn’t refrain them from celebrating their achievement.

After the team posed on the podium, Suryakumar enacted Rohit Sharma’s T20 World Cup celebration last year – a slow-motion walk to the dais, getting the trophy and shouting out loud with teammates.

As per several videos that have gone viral on social media, it was Arshdeep who requested his captain to perform the celebration act. Punjab Kings (PBKS) shared the video on social media, praising the left-arm quick’s content ideas.

No Trophy Leaves Suryakumar Yadav Surprised

Being denied a deserving trophy after winning a marquee event is a first for India’s T20 skipper Suryakumar Yadav, but he is unruffled thanks to his 14 ‘priceless’ teammates, each one of them as ‘precious’ as the Asia Cup silverware.

“I think this is one thing which I have never seen since I started playing and following cricket, that a champion team is denied a trophy. I mean that too, a hard-earned one. It wasn’t something that happened easily. It was a hard-earned tournament win,” Suryakumar said.

“If you tell me about the trophies, my trophies are sitting in my dressing room. All 14 guys are with me. All the support staff. Those are the real trophies. These are real moments which I am taking back as lovely memories which will stay with me forever going forward. And that’s all,” he added.
