India’s Asia Cup 2025-winning captain Suryakumar Yadav has announced that he will donate his entire tournament match fee to the country’s armed forces and the victims of the recent Pahalgam terror attack.
“I have decided to donate my match fees from this tournament to support our Armed Forces and the families of the victims who suffered from the Pahalgam terror attack. You always remain in my thoughts. Jai Hind,” Suryakumar posted on X after India’s five-wicket win over Pakistan in the final.
Each India player earns ₹4 lakh per T20 match, meaning Suryakumar will contribute ₹28 lakh for the seven games played.
The skipper, who consistently refused pleasantries with Pakistan’s players throughout the tournament, also drew global attention after paying tribute to the armed forces and Pahalgam victims during a group-stage clash on September 14. Pakistan complained to the ICC, accusing him of making political statements. The ICC fined him 30% of his match fee that day, though the BCCI has since challenged the penalty.
