After India’s Asia Cup 2025 win over Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the victory as “Operation Sindoor on field,” linking cricket success to India’s military operation. Responding sharply, Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President and Pakistan Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said: “No cricket match can rewrite that truth. Dragging war into sport only exposes desperation and disgraces the spirit of the game.” The war of words added fuel to the ongoing controversy after India refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy from Naqvi, escalating political tensions into the sporting arena.
