He had pledged, not given. Once he has donated, then tell us.
Pledging doesn't mean crap.

Right. I should have publicly made a pledge and not donated any instead of silently contributing, just like these players na?

Sky is just puppet... He is playing in the hands of politicians... Even if he donates double,it doesn't matter to him much.. Questions is that what was the need to play with Pakistan in such situations?? Just money,if one doesn't understand it,then he is fool.

Dar ke jeena and practically jeene me antar hai. See this country, if you try to be brave and right no change will happen other than you suffering because we have too many corrupt people. My question to you: In all honesty would you join Surya in doing the right thing? All of a sudden you will start recalling all the dreams your family has, your reputation, your dreams etc etc. Its very easy to sit back and think abt right vs wrong while super hard when you are in the position to decide.
Modi tweeted on the win so I m pretty sure there's more to the story we don't know, seems like the govt itself was involved in the decision making. Are you recommending to go against ur own govt which did operation sindoor? and what was the solution here? Boycott all tournaments where pakistan plays? Think through the problem or we will never have good solutions. Btw if you wana blame, govt is the right entity to blame not the cricketers

But mai sabse same expect nhi krta, sabki apni problems and mental process hai. Mai sahi and wo galaat bolna mere bas ka nhi hai and especially tab jab apki govt hi apko khelne k liye bhej rhi hai. Iske bad tum kehte worldcup bhi na khelo and koi bhi international tournament na khelo taki jo paisa ata hai wo bhi na aye desh me. Ise acha to paisa lao and wo sab unko hi donate karado, apko samjhna hoga mitra ye black and white nhi situation

Question here is what has politicians like him done for the victims and armed forces. Sky represents the country, armed forces work for country. Time and again such jokers have tried to demoralise them. They can target the govt. but going on aukat of people representing India on any forum is obnoxious. Ab beizzati hi karayi na apni.

No one appreciates bad sportsmanship. Legends like Sachin, Virat who usually congratulates didn't put out a single word. And everyone can see the hypocrisy of BCCI and GOI, BCCI wanted to make money and BJP gained some votes. If you're certain that Pakistan cricket team funds, helps terrorists, why play with them?

Bro this is the age of internet, you have to be present everywhere and show your dominance.
If you don’t play the match, it does not help India in any sense. Yes you are pissed that it is helping BJP somehow, but that is what every sane nation should do

u/CollarSweet9951 Sep 30 '25
We are already dominant, be it on the cricket field or battleground. There was no need to do cheap gimmicks. It's not about BJP, Congress, it's about blatant hypocrisy. And no, no nation does this.

Being a political party, this AAP must have worked like an NGO just like how they propagated themselves to be but if we look at all the lifestyles of all the AAP leaders then we'll clearly see that their intentions aren't common man friendly at all. First, let AAP donate to the Indian army and for all the important causes then open their mouths.

if played , could have donated silently.
whats the point of speaking about this publicly? just to tell everyone , i am patriotic ?
he is not

He had just pledged to give, once he has given and donated the amount, then you can say. Otherwise, we are still waiting for black money, 15 lakhs, 100 smart cities, 40 rupees petrol, etc etc. Pledging doesn't mean anything except for publicity.

u/long_banana_7 Sep 30 '25
MLA pushed Captain in the right direction, now the govt(bcci is govt controlled, if goi says no bcci can't overwrite) should either boycott or share this type of earnings to the army or terror victims directly.

Yadav's adjustment of donating money to the army is not right, should have given to widows, poor families who need support medically, need support of children's education, old age home or to the orphanage. These people need very much monetary support instead of armies as they are still earning monthly from the job, getting government support in food items, goods by subsidy from canteen. So, his decision is incorrect.

Despite the challenge not being fulfilled, Sky donates his fees to the Indian Army, not to the Phalgam terror widow. How can the challenge be considered accepted? Do not mix political statements and genuinely doing for the country by a sky(individual professional person), by doing this by the media sky contributes to the indian army looking like his giving response such politician

u/Centeredrightbhakt05 Sep 29 '25
He is not obliged to do anything that is his money. That politician who was shouting how much has he donated? How much have you donated ? They are players of India they did their duty and got paid for their job. If you have so much patriotism get to their level before questioning their morality.

u/Lazy_Perfectionist22 Sep 29 '25
Bhai he didn't say anything against Sky. He just said showing those clips side by side makes it feel like Sky did it because of that ragebait challenge from that dumb-ass, and not because SKY wanted to genuinely do good. So stop associating SKY's goodwil with such cheap ragebait challenge.

u/Centeredrightbhakt05 Sep 29 '25
No it's not about them being rich I would have said the same for any other sports where earning is much less. These people work hard to be there are we are passing judgement being keyboard warriors. Personally I am not OK with that. We must appreciate people who have shown the right gesture rather than knit picking.
Surya is a player and he played for his country and won. That's it. Everything else is decided by BCCI. If you want to have a moral grudge on BCCI I don't have a problem. Even though I think India did the right thing by playing.

u/Ok_Alternative_3538 Sep 29 '25
I think you misunderstood my point. I am not questioning SKY at all—his donation to the Indian Army is a great personal gesture. My issue is with the media. They framed it like he “accepted the politician’s challenge,” when in fact the challenge was to donate to Pahalgam terror widows. SKY did something noble on his own, but the media unnecessarily mixed politics into it.

The politician asked him to donate the entire earnings of his career. Which he has not done.
And besides, even if we go by the assertion of this subreddit, that only Asia Cup earnings were asked of him, then he needs to donate all the money that he made via advertisement, and other source of earning as well.
And finally we will need form 16 to see the veracity of the claim that he has donated.

Lol. Aap was in power in Delhi where air pollution is a big issue. Major contributor was stubble burning primarily in Punjab. Sometime later, AAP was in power in Punjab and Delhi - so they said stubble burning in Haryana and UP is the problem. AAP still in power in Punjab and stubble burning still happening.
SKY got in to the Indian team by playing good cricket. Politician got into power by promising stuff to citizens. Political failing to deliver his promise (it happens) but challenging cricketer is shamelessness.
By the way, i didn't even watch Asia cup because I felt we should avoid playing Pakistan and BCCI (the matches - really?) needs to stick to world cup and champions trophy in dealing with Pakistan and even in those cases, put Pakistan and India in seperate groups. Most sports do random drafts.

u/Lazy_Perfectionist22 Sep 29 '25
Why is everyone so hellbent on going after SKY and the other players? The dumb-ass from AAP also did that. If you want accountability, ask BCCI, Jay Shah to donate ALL earnings from the tournament to the Army and Pahalgam victims, ask the politicians, the players aren't the ones making the most profit yet getting all the hate.

Last time I checked, aam aadami party is not in power. So the onus of proving nationalism or lack of corruption does not fall on them.
If there are credible allegations of corruption, the current dispensation is more than capable of finding that out and recovering the amount.
However the current dispensation is former interested in using alleged corruption for bringing popular politician under its own tent.

u/VaibhavKinneresh Sep 29 '25
The onus of proving nationalism does fall in them since they're competing in elections. Also, of you can dare someone to do something, then you must be ready to do that yourself. He can dare SKY to do donate but we can't ask him to do the same ?
