India Clinch Asia Cup in Dubai as Suryakumar Says He’s ‘Out of Runs,’ Not Out of Form

The captain cast his lean returns as a brief lull, pointing to steady preparation after lifting his first major title as T20I skipper.

Overview

India beat Pakistan by five wickets in Dubai to secure their ninth Asia Cup title and complete an unbeaten campaign.
Suryakumar Yadav said he is not out of form despite scoring 72 runs in six innings, describing it as being out of runs after consistent training.
Hardik Pandya missed the final with a niggle and was to be assessed by medical staff, according to bowling coach Morne Morkel.
Shivam Dube filled the bowling role in Hardik’s absence and returned 0 for 23 in three overs, a contribution Suryakumar said the team had planned for.
Reports described a contentious presentation ceremony in which India initially did not receive medals or the trophy and celebrated on the podium after dignitaries departed.
