PM Modi Bats On Front Foot: Suryakumar Yadav Hails Prime Minister, Op Sindoor After India Beats Pakistan

India's hard-fought Asia Cup 2025 victory over Pakistan in Dubai became more than just a cricketing success - it was a moment of national pride, inspiration, and personal reflection for the team. Captain Suryakumar Yadav shared that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's words following the win felt like he was right there on the field with them.

Modi likened the triumph to "#OperationSindoor", celebrating India's relentless spirit. Yadav said, "It feels good when the country's leader himself bats on the front foot; it felt like he took the strike and scored runs." Such encouragement boosted the team's confidence, allowing them to perform freely under the spotlight.

Beyond cricket, Yadav showed his commitment to social causes by pledging his tournament earnings to aid victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and support the Indian Armed Forces, underlining the broader responsibilities the team embraces.

The tournament wasn't without tension. India maintained distance from traditional handshakes with Pakistani players and notably refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy from PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, following his controversial posts referencing past conflicts and Operation Sindoor. The team instead celebrated their win humorously on social media, with Yadav and teammate Tilak Varma sharing an emoji trophy to mark their achievement.

For India, the victory is both a testament to resilience on the field and a reflection of leadership, camaraderie, and pride off it - with Suryakumar's words capturing the spirit of a team lifted by the nation itself.
