India are all set to take on Pakistan in the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, September 21. This will be one week after the Men in Blue defeated their arch-rivals by a margin of seven wickets. On that day, Suryakumar Yadav made a huge statement as he refused to shake hands with the Pakistan team before and after the match, while also dedicating India’s win to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian Army. Ahead of Sunday’s match, the Indian captain has once again taken a dig at the opposition. Speaking after India’s win against Oman, Suryakumar Yadav dismissed that there was any special rivalry with Pakistan. Whenever they take the field and see the stadium full, he tells his time that it is time for some entertainment. “We talk about rivalry, I don’t know what rivalry you are talking about. After going on the ground, I feel that the stadium is full. Aur jab stadium bhara hoa hai, main apne team ko bolta hu ki chalo bhailog, abhi entertainment ka time aa gaya hai. (And when the stadium is full, I tell my team and everyone that it’s time for entertainment,” the Indian captain said. “So many people have come to watch the match, so you have to entertain everyone. Let’s play some good brand of cricket. And according to me, we don’t think much,” Suryakumar Yadav added. ‘Close Your Room, Switch Phone Off And Sleep’ When asked how to tackle the external pressure of an India vs Pakistan game, Suryakumar Yadav said that it is best to switch off your phone and sleep. However, it is not easy as it sounds. What do you do? Close your room, switch off your phone and sleep. I think that’s the best. See, it’s easy to say but sometimes it is difficult because you meet a lot of friends, you go out for dinner and you have a lot of players also around who like to see all these things.
