After India was denied their deserving Asia Cup trophy, the Indian capatain Suryakumar Yadav was left shocked. To him him, this is the first time some champions team denied a trophy. Notably, India's standpoint was not about not taking the trophy but about not taking it from the PCB chief, Mohsin Naqvi. However, the stubborn Naqvi literally walked out with the trophy and the medals after letting any of the present dignitaries go on with the procedure. Coming to the post-match press conference, Surya said that they are not disappointed but kinda shocked. Even though his team is chilled and happy, and his real trophy is his teammates. He said, “I think this is one thing I have never seen. Since I started playing and following cricket, a champion team being denied a trophy. That too a hard-earned one." He added, "For me, the real trophies are sitting in the dressing room — my 14 teammates and the support staff. They are the reason we won this title. Still, a team winning a hard-fought tournament and not getting a trophy is something I have never seen." Speaking about his team, he further said, "Since day one I have been telling them only one thing: Let's just focus on cricket on the ground. And when we go to the practice sessions, let's enjoy what we are doing. Do the same things that we want to do in the game. "I think the boys took it in a positive way. I feel unbeaten in the tournament, the boys stepped up whenever needed. I think those are the small moments, small trophies, which we won going forward into the World Cup year."
