During the ongoing Asia Cup, amidst the intense cricketing rivalries, a heartwarming off-field moment unfolded between India’s Suryakumar Yadav and Pakistani social media sensation Momin Saqib. Momin, who gained fame for his viral “Maaro Mujhe Maaro” reaction to Pakistan’s loss against India in the 2019 World Cup, greeted Suryakumar in the hotel lobby.
A video shared by Momin on Twitter shows the two men sharing a warm hug, with Momin praising Suryakumar for his innovative batting style. In his post, Momin wrote, “The current day and age of cricket requires innovation, and Sky is indeed one of the finest in the game! See you in the final. I always appreciate the love and respect I get from the Indian players!”

India and Pakistan have a storied cricketing rivalry, and the encounter in the 2019 World Cup was no exception. India emerged victorious in that match, thanks in part to Rohit Sharma’s brilliant 140 runs in 113 balls, securing an 89-run win.
