Dubai International Cricket Stadium: India captain Suryakumar Yadav consoled Sri Lanka’s Dunith Wellalage after their tense Super 4 clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday.

Wellalage, just 22, had returned to the squad days after the sudden passing of his father, Suranga Wellalage, who died of a heart attack.

Following India’s narrow win in a nerve-shredding Super Over, Yadav placed a comforting hand on the young allrounder’s shoulder, embraced him, and offered words of support.
