Suryakumar Yadav donates Asia Cup 2025 match fees to the Indian army, Pahalgam victims: How much does it cost?

Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav donated all his individual match fees from the tournament to the victims of the Pahalgam attack. “I 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 stay in my mind. Jai Hind,” Surya wrote on Twitter (now X). However, during the press conference after the match, Suryakumar Yadav said it was dedicated to Indian Army India’s T20 players earned £ 4 Lakh per game. With seven games in the Asia Cup 2025, Suryakumar Yadav will donate £ 28 Lakh to the armed forces and the Pahalgam victims. Surya’s sentiment for victims of Pahalgam and Indian soldiers is nothing new. India chose not to shake with Pakistan after their first Asia Cup 2025 match on September 14, breaking the usual habit. Captain Suryakumar Yadav devoted the victory to the Indian army and the families of those killed in the Pahalgam terror attack. Yadav said Team India wants to show Solidarity and honor the bravery of soldiers. “Hope they keep inspiring us all, we give them more reasons on the ground when we have the opportunity to make them smile,” Surya said. At the press conference after the match, Suryakumar explained that the decision was made in accordance with the Indian government and the BCCI. A Golf journalist questioned his sportsmanship today. Sky replied that some things in life are above sports spirit. Even after the Asial Cup 2025 final, Surya was accused of mixing politics with cricket. At the press conference after the match, a Pakistani journalist claimed that Surya ‘was the first captain to mix politics with cricket’. “You get angry, right?” Surya said and refused to give an answer. Suryakumar Yadav, who was fined by ICC Suryakumar Yadav, was fined 30% of his match fee for his comments on the “Pahalgam tribute”, according to Pti. Pakistan filed a formal complaint against the Indian captain. The penalty was decided after a trial led by Richie Richardson, referee of the ICC match. The BCCI appealed the verdict. Suryakumar Yadav did not plead guilty. However, he was reportedly warned against the use of any statements during the tournament that could be considered political. ICC insiders told NDTV that a formal press release would set out the exact punishment. It is likely to be issued after the Asial Cup 2025 final. It is unclear whether Suryakumar Yadav will exclude the fine while donating to the Indian Army and the Pahalgam victims.
