A recent India-Pakistan cricket match, held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, concluded with India securing a 7-wicket win. However, the game was overshadowed by a ‘no-handshake’ controversy. The unusual behavior started at the toss, where captains Suryakumar Yadav and Salman Ali Agha did not shake hands, raising eyebrows.
Pakistan, after opting to bat, faced difficulty scoring against India’s bowling attack, with Kuldeep Yadav taking three vital wickets. India’s batting performance was strong, with Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma making significant contributions.
Following the match, Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube departed without shaking hands with the Pakistani team, according to reports. This led to disappointment from the Pakistani side, with their captain, Salman Ali Agha, missing the post-match presentation. The PCB has since lodged a protest against the Indian team’s actions, calling it unsportsmanlike conduct.
