Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar spoke on the controversy over the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 match in Dubai. He said the Indian team is simply following the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and government directives. “At the end of the day, it’s the government that makes the call,” Gavaskar told India Today. The fixture has faced boycott calls after recent tensions, with ticket sales slower than usual. Despite protests, both teams remain focused on their performance. India began strongly against the UAE, while Pakistan defeated Oman. Sunday’s clash is expected to be intense. (PC: India Today)
