Surya leads India to Asia Cup 2025 glory
Suryakumar Yadav recently guided India to a historic Asia Cup win, where the Men in Blue defeated Pakistan three times in the same tournament. The triumph marked India’s dominant performance under SKY’s captaincy. After the first win against Pakistan, Surya had dedicated the victory to the Indian Army and the victims of the Pahalgam attack.
However, individually, Suryakumar’s form with the bat was not at its peak — he scored 72 runs in 7 matches, averaging 18.00 with a strike rate of 101.41. Despite that, his leadership, field placements, and tactical awareness were praised by former players and experts.
