Salman Ali Agha Stunned By India's Action - (Source : AFP)
On Sunday, September 14, India thrashed Pakistan to register an emphatic seven-wicket win over their arch-rivals. The Men in Blue took the match as a professional commitment and refused to engage in any conversation with the Men in Green.
Meanwhile, Suryakumar Yadav and company hogged the internet after the match as the batters walked back to the pavilion and refused to shake hands with the Pakistan team, despite Salman Agha and his men waiting outside the dressing room.
The instance did not go well with Pakistan, which has now filed an official complaint with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). While the matter is yet to be resolved, this article will shed light on the past instances between the two countries when they have lodged a complaint or protested against each other.

Thus, the PCB had written to the ACC, urging to take strong action and also threatened not travelling to India for 2023 World Cup.
Eventually, the two boards decided that the tournament will be held in a hybrid model.
1989 Karachi ODI
During 1989, India had toured Pakistan for ODI series and during the 3rd ODI, Pakistan were reduced to 28/3. Seeing the hosts in troubling situation, the crowd soon hurled stones at the Indian fielders at the boundary ropes.
Despite attempts by Javed Miandad to calm the crowd and initial efforts by police to restore order, the stone-pelting continued, escalating to the use of tear gas by police and even reports of gunfire outside the stadium. The match was ultimately called off.
India then had registered an official complaint to the match referee, following a hostile behaviour by the home side.
