In the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four match at Dubai, India captain Suryakumar Yadav chose to bowl after winning the toss against Pakistan. He sparked controversy by avoiding a handshake with Pakistan captain Salman Agha, repeating his actions from last week’s group-stage clash. Even after the match, Team India did not shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts. The gesture came in the backdrop of rising tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives. The move has reignited debate among fans and media, highlighting off-field drama alongside the cricketing contest. (PC: NDTV Sports)
