India defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in their Asia Cup 2025 Group A match but refused the customary post-match handshake. Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube, who guided India past the 128-run target in 15.5 overs, walked straight to the dressing room without greeting Pakistan players. Reports said none of the Indian squad came out to meet their rivals, despite Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha and his team waiting outside. Pakistan’s white-ball coach Mike Hesson was reportedly angered by the incident. Handshakes are tradition, not rule, but India’s decision highlighted the tense atmosphere surrounding the India-Pakistan rivalry. (PC: X)
