Jai Hind. This post went viral and the fans praised the generosity of the captain. Suryakumar said that this is his way of expressing respect for the country’s jambaz and innocent. The BCCI has announced a prize money of Rs 21 crore for the winning Indian team and support staff. However, the celebration of victory faded a bit as the traditional ceremony of handing over the trophy to the winning team was not held.
Suryakumar commented on this, saying, “I never saw that the winning team should not be handed over the trophy.” He further added that when the game is over, only the champions are remembered, not the picture of the trophy. For me, my player and associate staff are the real trophy. This incident has become a topic of discussion in the cricket world.
