Surya Kumar Yadav has been found guilty and banned from making any political statements in the upcoming matches of the tournament. ICC match referee Richie Richardson heard the case. Team India did not shake hands with the Pakistani players after the match. Surya Kumar also refused to shake hands with Pakistani captain Salman Ali Agha at the toss.

Team India took this step in response to the Pahalgam attack in April, in which 26 Indians were killed. Following this, voices against Pakistan grew louder in India, and the match was even protested. However, Team India played the match but did not speak or shake hands with the Pakistani players.

After defeating Pakistan by seven wickets, Suryakumar Yadav said at the prize distribution ceremony, "This is the right time. We stand with the victims of the Pahalgam attack. We stand with them. We want to dedicate this victory to our armed forces who showed indomitable courage."
