Speaking about India captain Suryakumar Yadav dedicating victory against Pakistan in group stage match in the Asia Cup 2025 to the victims of Pahalgam terror attack and Armed Forces, ex-India cricketer Atul Wassan said, "He was obliged to say it." "I am against these optics and tokenism. If Suryakumar hadn't said it, he would still be a patriot," Wassan added.
