India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav trolled Pakistan after the Men in Blue secured a win by six wickets over them on Sunday, September 21. In the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4s match played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the Suryakumar Yadav-led side chased down the target of 172 runs in 18.5 overs for the loss of four wickets.
While speaking to reporters during the post-match press conference, 35-year-old Surya said that India-Pakistan is not a rivalry anymore, as India have a very dominant record against their arch-rivals.
“Mujhe aisa lagta hai ki aap logo ko ye question puchne ab band kar dena chahiye puchna rivalry ke upar because rivalry… mere hisab se agar 2 teams 15-20 matches khel rahi hai aur usme agar 7-7 hai ya 8-7 se koi aage chal
raha hai toh usko acha cricket khelna bolte hai aur usko rivalry bolte hai. 13-0, 10-1, mujhe pata nahi kya stat hai, but this is not a rivalry anymore (you guys should stop asking about the rivalry. If the two teams are playing 15-20 games & the scoreline is 7-7 or 8-7, then it is called rivalry. If the scoreline is 10-1 or 13-0, I don’t know the exact number, but this is not a rivalry anymore),” Surya said.
Surya : “There is no rivalry anymore” 🤣
