Suryakumar Yadav looked into a Jovial mood, and shared a good, friendly moment with Muhammad Wasim. He was seen telling the UAE captain, “Idar Mat Dekho (don’t look here)” before breaking into laughter.
As Suryakumar flipped the coin, Wasim called for the head, and it came down as a tail. India won the toss and opted to bowl first, and this was their first toss win in 16 attempts in international cricket.
Suryakumar Yadav did not tell Andy Picroft about his toss decision and just went to chat with Sanjay Manjrekar. He explained the dew factor due to India’s decision to bowl first, which inspired Sanjay Manjrekar to tell, “I felt that you wanted to bat first.”
Then, the Indian captain began to explain the first game of the season as the reason behind his move, and suddenly, Andy Pycroft interrupted.
He was seen asking what was India’s toss decision, and Suryakumar told him that he was bowling earlier. Sanjay Manjrekar clarified and clarified the position referee before continuing his chat with the Indian captain.

We are confident of that series – Muhammad Wasim
Speaking in the toss, Muhammad Wasim said that he would take positivity from the three-series against Afghanistan and Pakistan and would perform well in the Asia Cup 2025. He said:
“We were also looking to bowl because the pitch is looking fresh, so the ball will probably do something in the beginning. We had a good tournament and got many positive points. We are confident of that series. Today we have other plans and need to play good cricket.
“We are going with a good combination with a mixture and fasting bowlers, superiors and youth mixtures.”
