Suryakumar Yadav Donates Match Fees to Indian Armed Forces and Victims of Pahalgam Attack After Asia Cup 2025 Win
After India beat Pakistan to win Asia Cup 2025, Suryakumar Yadav announces he will donate his match fees to the Indian armed forces.
India lifted the Asia Cup 2025 title on Sunday with a thrilling five-wicket win over Pakistan in the final at Dubai International Stadium. The contest swung from one side to the other, but India held their nerve in the final overs to secure a memorable victory.
The Men in Blue had already beaten Pakistan in the group stage and Super Four encounters, making this their third dominant win over their arch-rivals in the tournament.
After the celebrations on the field, Suryakumar Yadav made a heartfelt announcement. He revealed that he would donate his entire match fees from the final to the Indian armed forces.
The gesture comes amid heightened patriotic sentiment after incidents earlier in the year, including the Pahalgam terror attack. It also reflects the captain’s commitment to honoring the country beyond cricket.
India’s team celebrated their ninth Asia Cup title, with top performances across the squad and contributions from the support staff.
