After this victory, Surya praised all the players, including Sanju Samson and Jasprit Bumrah.

After winning the trophy, Suryakumar Yadav said, "I'm definitely very happy with what happened today. It's been a long journey. It started after the 2024 World Cup. The BCCI, Jay Shah, and Rohit Sharma all showed faith in me. They gave me the opportunity to lead this amazing team, and then to come back to the Narendra Modi Stadium and do it again was a long journey. I think it's a special feeling."

How do you manage the pressure of being favorites? Surya replied, "We knew we'd been playing good cricket for two years, and it was going very well. We just wanted to carry on all the good habits we followed in the 2024 T20 World Cup. Let the boys know what it feels like to win a World Cup, how we want to play in bilateral series, the Test series we want to take forward, and the T20 World Cup. The boys took it very well."
