Asia Cup: Suryakumar Dedicates Seven-wicket Win Over Pakistan To Armed Forces
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: India captain Suryakumar Yadav dedicated his side’s commanding seven-wicket win over Pakistan in the 2025 Men’s T20 Asia Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium here on Sunday to the armed forces back home.
Sunday’s game in Dubai is also the first meeting in international cricket between India and Pakistan after heightened diplomatic tensions earlier this year. The game comes in the aftermath of a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives, prompting India to launch Operation Sindoor targeting terror infrastructure across the border and in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
As per a notification from the Union Sports Ministry, India can play Pakistan in "international and multilateral events", but can't engage in "bilateral sports events in each other's country".
