Ghajipur | 8 March 2026 As the final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup approaches, cricket fans across the country are praying for the victory of the India national cricket team. Excitement is especially high in Hathoda village, Ghazipur, the ancestral village of Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav. Residents and family members are eagerly hoping to see him lift the prestigious trophy and bring pride to the nation and their village. On Sunday morning, Suryakumar’s uncle Rajkapoor organised a special prayer and aarti at the Markandey Mahadev Dham in Kaithi, offering prayers in the names of all the players in the Indian team. Earlier, Suryakumar’s mother Sapna Devi had also performed prayers at several temples in Varanasi, including the famous Kashi Vishwanath Temple, wishing for India’s victory in the tournament. Family members say that seeing Suryakumar lead India to a World Cup title would be a moment of great pride. His uncle Lorik Yadav shared that if Suryakumar wins the tournament as captain, his name would be remembered alongside legends like Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Rohit Sharma who have also led India to major cricketing achievements. Meanwhile, preparations are underway at the family home in Hathoda village to watch the final match together. Villagers have arranged a large screen for the live broadcast and are planning fireworks and sweet distribution if India wins. Locals say they will celebrate with colours and fireworks, describing the occasion as celebrating both Holi and Diwali together if the team lifts the trophy. The enthusiasm among both young and elderly villagers shows how deeply cricket connects people and how strongly they believe India can create history under Suryakumar Yadav’s leadership.
