After India's emphatic victory over Pakistan, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has called for an end to labeling matches between the two cricketing nations as a 'rivalry.' Yadav pointed out India's dominance, having won 12 out of 15 T20I games against their neighbor.

In a press conference, a Pakistani journalist questioned the widening gap in performance levels. Yadav, with a smile, replied that the term 'rivalry' is misplaced when India consistently outperforms Pakistan.

The skipper emphasized that a true rivalry consists of evenly matched teams, which contrasts sharply with the actual performance records. India's overwhelming record speaks for itself, Yadav concluded before leaving the conference room confidently.
