After lifting the Asia Cup with a thrilling five-wicket win over Pakistan, the Indian cricket team touched down in Mumbai to a rousing reception from fans.

Addressing the much-talked-about trophy controversy, skipper Suryakumar Yadav said, “It was necessary to respond to Pakistan.”

Surya also shed light on his bond with head coach Gautam Gambhir, describing it as a relationship of deep trust: “My relationship with Gambhir is like that of brothers. Whatever Gambhir Bhai suggests, I do it without thinking.”
