Men’s India Cricket team defeated Pakistan with a dominant 7-wicket win in their Asia Cup 2025 group-stage battle at Dubai. Chasing just 128, skipper Suryakumar Yadav led from the front with an unbeaten 47, sealing victory in style with a six. But the biggest talking point came after the game was that no handshakes, no chats. Indian Players walked straight to their dressing rooms. Pakistan team was on the ground waiting, but no one from the Indian team came out, instead shut the dressing room door.
India Handshake Controversy Overshadows
According to reports, Pakistan coach Mike Hesson was left upset by the gesture, as seriousness overshadowed the usual camaraderie. Earlier too, captains Suryakumar Yadav and Salman Ali Agha avoided interaction at the toss. Post-match, Suryakumar dedicated the win to India’s armed forces, expressing solidarity with victims of the Pahalgam terror attack. This fiery encounter wasn’t just about cricket; it added another dramatic chapter to Asia Cup 2025.
Well done Team India! After hitting the winning shot, Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube went straight towards the dressing room. No one from the Indian dugout came out to shake hands, while the Pakistan team stood waiting, but the Indian team didn’t shake hands with them.💪🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/Qld6Kf0KhO
