In a major development, the India National Cricket Team -Schipper Suryakumar Yadav continued its handshake photo with the Pakistan National Cricket Team skipper Salman Agha in the coming games.
The National Cricket team of India has already qualified for the Super Four phase of the Asia Cup 2025, and the Pakistan National Cricket team was able to book the place by beating the VAE in their last game.
India humiliated Pakistan at the global stage
The largest competition of the Asia Cup 2025 between India and Pakistan in the Dubai International Stadium was not intense, but it was certainly filled with drama.
Your daily dose of cricket!
It even started before the first ball of the game was bent. Suryakumar Yadav ignored his counterpart of Pakistan, Salman Agha, and was not concerned with the usual handshake after the throw.
While the competition started, India destroyed Pakistan and limited the men in green to 127/9. Kuldeep Yadav collapsed three wickets, Axar Patel got two wickets, Jasprit Bumrah chose two wickets, while Hardik Pandya and Varun Chakravarthy each saw a wicket.
Abhishek Sharma pursued the target and offered India a great start and he launched the attack on Pakistan’s bowling attack. After that, India lost a few wickets, but was still in total control, and on the fifth ball of the 16th, Suryakumar Yadav hit a six out of Sufiyan Muqema to register a dominant 7-Wicket victory.
Suryakumar Yadav walked off the field next to Shivam Dube immediately after the end of the game and there were no handshakes after the game between the two teams.
Pakistan waited for usual handshakes after the game, but nobody came out when the Indian team closed the door of their dressing room. It turned out to be a major humiliation for Pakistan on a worldwide stage
Suryakumar Yadav to continue with Handpress Snub
According to the latest report in India Today, Suryakumar Yadav will continue his handshake boycott against Pakistan if both teams are opposed to each other a few times in the Asia Cup 2025.
Not only that, the report has clarified that the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) will not impose any sanctions on India for refusing to shake hands with Pakistan, because their actions are not breaking any rule.
When Suryakumar Yadav was asked to explain the reason behind India’s great movement, he said that “a few things in life are greater than sportiness.”
Boycotte Pakistan skipper Salman Agha also the presentation ceremony after the match in response to the actions of India, and the PCB has filed a complaint with the ICC to dismiss the referee Andy Pycroft.
The request to remove Andy Pycroft will probably be rejected by the ICC led by Jay Shah, and in another development the Pakistan Cricket Board has suspended their director of international cricket operations, Usman Wahla, for non-taking timely action ‘about the handshake-contro trovers.
The reason they mentioned because they did not shake hands was that we are at the victims of the Pahalgam- Madan Lal
During the presentation ceremony after the game, Suryakumar Yadav devoted the victory of India to the armed forces and expressed solidarity with the Pahalgam terror attack victims.
When former cricket player Madan Lal was asked in an interaction with Ani about Indian players who refuse to shake hands with Pakistan Cricketers, he said:
“… It is their call. The reason they didn’t call them shaking hands was that we are standing with the victims of the Pahalgam. I think terrorism and exercise cannot go together. But at the end of the day it is a game, and you played and won. That’s the best answer you gave.”
