The Asia Cup 2025 clash between India and Pakistan was marked by a significant display of unsportsmanlike conduct. After India comfortably chased down Pakistan’s low score of 128, the Indian team chose not to shake hands with their opponents. Instead, Indian batsmen Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube went straight to the dressing room, closing the door behind them. This action left Pakistan’s captain, Salman Ali Agha, and his team waiting on the field. The pre-match coin toss also lacked the traditional handshake between captains. Mike Hesson confirmed the Pakistani players expected the handshake, expressing dismay at India’s refusal to participate. The incident has drawn criticism, with Hesson and the Pakistani team expressing their disappointment.
