In a video posted on ‘X’, he told ANI, “I sold my tractor for $3000 to watch the India vs Pakistan match, in which we lost. I was very disappointed. But the public supported me so well. Mujhe itne acche messages aye ki mujhe laga ki ajj mujhe India ko support karna chahiye (I received such great messages from the public that I felt I should support India today). Surya has won my heart today. Tractor ke paise India ne vasool karva diye (India have made the money spent on the tractor worth it).”

Following India’s victory in the game against Pakistan, the same fan told ANI, “I have sold my tractor to get a ticket worth 3000 USD. When we saw the score of India, we did not think that we were going to lose this game. We thought it was an achievable score. The game was in our hands but after Babar Azam got out, people were disheartened. I congratulate you all (Indian fans).”
On Wednesday, the USA faced a daunting task when they were asked to bat first, as Arshdeep Singh (4-9) wreaked havoc in the opening over, sending back Shayan Jahangir (0) and Andries Gous (2). Despite the early setbacks, Steven Taylor (24) and Nitish Kumar (27) managed to steady the ship and guide their team to a respectable total of 110-8.
India’s win was spearheaded by a blistering spell from Arshdeep Singh, which set the tone for the innings. The duo of Suryakumar Yadav (50) and Shivam Dube (31) then took centre stage, forging a crucial 72-run partnership that effectively sealed the game in India’s favour. Their dominant performance with the bat ensured a comfortable 7-wicket victory for the Men in Blue.
