NEW DELHI: India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has shared that he personally apologised to Daryl Mitchell after an on-field incident involving Arshdeep Singh during the recent World Cup final. His main aim, he said, was to show the right kind of leadership and sportsmanship. What happened during the match The moment took place when Arshdeep threw the ball, and it accidentally struck Mitchell on his thigh pads.
The incident didn’t go down well, especially since Arshdeep didn’t apologise immediately. This led to Mitchell confronting him, and the situation had to be calmed down by Suryakumar and the umpires. Because of the act, Arshdeep was fined 15% of his match fee and also received a demerit point from the ICC.
Despite the tension, things settled later. Arshdeep apologised publicly after the match, and both players shook hands once the game ended. India went on to win comfortably by 96 runs and retained the trophy.
Suryakumar Yadav’s leadership approach Talking about the incident later, Suryakumar downplayed the seriousness, saying such things can happen in the heat of the moment. "Heat of the moment mein kabhi kabhi ho jaata hai (It happens in the heat of the moment sometimes). At that time, you don't fully understand what is happening.
