Suryakumar Yadav had a rather quiet tournament with the bat, except his match-winning 50 against Pakistan in the Asia Cup group stage.
However, his on-field decisions were key in this undefeated campaign.
Hardik Pandya also returned home, to Mumbai, last night. He had missed the final against Pakistan after getting injured in a Super 4 match against Sri Lanka.

India’s head coach, Gautam Gambhir, and spinner, Kuldeep Yadav, who was the leading wicket taker at the Asia Cup with 17 wickets (crowned Most Valuable Player of the Tournament) arrived in Ahmedabad early morning on September 30, 2025.
This is very likely due to the upcoming India vs West Indies Test series, which starts from October 2, 2025. The first match will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
