Indian team veteran Ajinkya Rahane has prepared Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav for his sportsmanship after withdrawing the appeal after the dismissal of Shivam Dubey’s towel drop incident.
India may have won the match against the UAE in a commanding fashion, and Kuldeep Yadav won the Player of the Match Award, but it was Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav, who won the heart with his commendable gentleman spirit.
Suryakumar Yadav is undoubtedly one of the names in Indian cricket who is known for his composition and peace. While the skipper goes to his first multi-nation tournament, he has kept his veins and has given more as a player, as he did with bat or ball throughout his career.

India vs. UAE Asia Cup encounter marked incident
The incident has been talked about, in the 13th over of the game, when Shivam Dubey was bowling for the UAE no. 10, Junaid Siddiqu. Siddiq stepped out because Dub pulled his length back, and the batsman remembered it completely.
Wicket-keeper, Sanju Samson immediately collected the ball and threw it to stumps, and the batsman visually saw what happened. The third umpire found no part of the batsman’s shoe inside the popping crease and hence he was rejected.
However, captain Suryakumar Yadav stepped into and withdrew his appeal, as he admitted that the batsman could be blindly distracted by a towel falling during Dube’s run-up.
The brilliant performance of sportsmanship with Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has attracted the attention of many great cricketers, including his Mumbai team partner Ajinkya Rahane. He has come to the field to praise India’s awareness as well as the spirit of sports.
“This was a great call by Team India and Captain Surya as Junaid was not looking for a run. I think he was not aware of where the crease was,” Raine said on his YouTube channel.
“As a wicketkeeper or a fielder, when you bring the ball in hand, your instinct is to target stumps. But this was the right call made by Team India. He has shown great character and a very good sportsman. This is what you want to see in cricket – you work hard, but you play impartible.
Rahane finds that there was no loss for Arshdeep Singh due to the balance of the Indian team
The Great Batter also marked the remarkable absence of left-bed pacer Arshdeep Singh at Taula and Playing XI on Team balance. Jaspreet went to play with Jaspreet Bumrah as a major pacer, while Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey played a supporting roles.
“Personally, I think it was a very well -balanced team,” Rahane said. “The only player was Arshdeep Singh, and I would like to see him playing with Boling, bowling with Bumrah.”
He said, “against quality opposition, India will need a quality fast bowler. If bowling in the Hardik Powerplay, you need someone to bowl with Bumrah at the time of death. I am sure Arshdeep will get a chance below the line in this tournament.”
