Motivating India Women's Cricket team ahead of their World Cup game. Yadav stated, "If our women's team focuses on playing good cricket, it will be 12-0." Earlier during the Asia Cup 2025 press conference, Yadav said the same on the India vs Pakistan clash.
"I would like to say one thing on this question. I feel that you should stop asking this question on the rivalry," he said, before being reminded the question wasn't about rivalry at all. "Standards and rivalry are the same," he continued. "According to me, if two teams play 15-20 matches and if [head-to-head] it is 7-7 or 8-7, then that is called a rivalry. But 13-0, 10-1….I don't know what the stats are. But this is not a rivalry anymore. But yeah, I feel we played better cricket than them."
