India captain Suryakumar Yadav, just like his Pakistan counterpart Salman Agha, did not disclose whether he and his team would shake hands with the opposition during their T20 World Cup 2026 match on Sunday in Colombo. At the pre-match media briefing, Suryakumar said he would want to keep the "suspense" for another 24 hours.

The handshake question was asked twice and both times Suryakumar said it would be better to focus on the match first. "Wait for 24 hours, no," he said with a big smile when the question was asked the first time. "Why are you [speculating] now? We have come here to play cricket, we'll play good cricket. We will take the call [on handshake] later. Dine well, sleep."

When asked to provide clarity, Suryakumar reiterated his previous comment. "I will break the suspense tomorrow. I just said wait for 24 hours, we will play a good game and then after the game… what is important tomorrow? The game is important." When prodded that captains shake hands at the toss, he said, "We will see that at the toss."
