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.“Perfect occasion, taking the time out. We stand by the victims of the families of the Pahalgam terror attack. We express our solidarity. Want to dedicate the win to all our armed forces who showed a lot of bravery. Hope they continue to inspire us all and we give them more reasons on the ground whenever we get an opportunity to put a smile on their face,” Suryakumar said in an impromptu message at the post-match presentation ceremony.
