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.
Having won the Asia Cup beating Pakistan for the third time in a space of two weeks, Suryakumar and the team refused to take the trophy from Asian Cricket Council chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the Pakistan Cricket Board chief and more importantly the Interior Minister of his country, known for his vocal anti-India stand.
