Case tha woo moment saw it was a dream come true for me because when I thought I would play for India in the cricket cup but the match of the game. I don’t think you will ever get 1 chance to lead India but wo also 1 chance I got to lead India, India and with God’s day and prayer I got a chance to lead India. of [We saw that iconic picture—you even asked and said that you got the group DP but not the name, and there were some suggestions. What was that moment like? For me, it was a dream come true because when I had thought that I would play cup cricket for India and win matches, you don’t even think that you will ever get an opportunity to lead India. But I got that one opportunity to lead India, and by God’s grace and blessings, I got the chance to lead India]” said Surya.India defeated the New Zealand national cricket team in the final of the 2026 T20 World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium on 8 March 2026.Surya became the third Indian captain to win the T20 World Cup after MS Dhoni in 2007 and Rohit Sharma in 2024.“We win the woo woo tournament in India, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where we didn’t win in 23. So I think for me, woo will always be with me, woo yad is a very precious moment. I believe that for me, the poor in India are the poor in the whole world.” It must have been a special moment for everyone. [We won that tournament in India, in Ahmedabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium, where we couldn’t win in 2023. So I think for me, that will always stay with me—that memory was a very precious moment for me. I am sure it must have been the same for all of India and for Indians across the world, so it was a special moment]” he said.“And then after that when we were playing the first game, with Chennai, then I had this picture in my heart of Aya Aggar, who won the first World Cup for India in T20 and who now wins in T24 and who is the captain.” [After that, when we were playing the first game against Chennai on Kede, it came to my mind that if this picture could happen—with the captains who had earlier won the T20 World Cup for India, the one who won in 2024 also being there, and if we win in 2026 and I am there too—then I thought if we could create that photo, it would be a special memory for me for a lifetime and obviously for everyone]Surya added.“So I thought there is a possibility of coming here tomorrow in Chennai. I got a 1% chance, so I went and asked Rohit bhai first, then Rohit bhai said, then I asked Mahi bhai, so it was good to ask him too, don’t ask him, wait a minute.” [So I thought when I came here yesterday in Chennai, there was a possibility—I got that 1 percent chance. I first went and asked Rohit bhai, then Rohit bhai spoke, then I asked Mahi bhai as well. It felt good to ask them, and both of them said yes. So I didn’t wait for a moment—I said let’s quickly take that photo in the morning. It’s very, very special]” he added.
