India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav cracked a funny remark while being photographed in Bandra, Mumbai, on Thursday, October 2. The 35-year-old last played in the Asia Cup 2025 final on Sunday, September 28, where he led India to a win over Pakistan.
Chasing 147, the Men in Blue secured a five-wicket victory with two balls remaining, earning their ninth Asia Cup title—the most by any team in the tournament’s history. On Thursday, the Mumbai star was spotted taking pictures with fans. While seated in his car, he delivered a witty line, saying:
“Koi nazdeek rehta toh ghar chordh deta hoon.” [If someone lived close by, I’d give them a ride home].

Meanwhile, India completed their Asia Cup 2025 campaign unbeaten, winning all seven games. However, Suryakumar’s contribution was modest, as he scored only 72 runs across six innings, averaging 18.00 with a strike rate of 101.40, and his highest score being an unbeaten 47 against Pakistan.
“Let Me Down” – Ex-Cricketer On Suryakumar Yadav’s Asia Cup 2025 Performance
Suryakumar Yadav had a disappointing personal outing in the Asia Cup 2025. The right-handed batter has faced a tough year, amassing only 100 runs in 11 innings at an average of 11.11 and a strike rate of 105.26. After the tournament, former cricketer Kris Srikkanth voiced his worries about Suryakumar’s form, stating [via his YouTube channel]:
“Suryakumar Yadav let me down. His scores are like a pin code these days. Both batting lineups had several pin codes with Pakistan being much worse of course. But yes, Surya’s form is very concerning, along with Shubman Gill.”
Suryakumar has proudly represented India in 90 T20 Internationals, amassing 2,670 runs with an average of 37.08 and a strike rate of 164.20, featuring four impressive centuries and 21 half-centuries.
