In the much-talked about Asia Cup 2025 encounter between India and Pakistan, the Suryakumar Yadav-led side emerged victorious as the Men in Blue thrashed Pakistan by seven wickets to go on top of the table with four points in two matches.
Pakistan, batting first, tumbled for just 127 runs courtesy of a brilliant show by Kuldeep Yadav. In reply, Abhishek Sharma set-up the perfect platform, while Suryakumar Yadav played the match-winning knock with 47 not-out.
India Players Refuse To Shake Hands With Pakistani Counterparts
SKY, who turned 35 today, is having a birthday to remember as he finished the game in style and smashed a six to seal the win. It was not the only swag-worthy moment for the India captain as soon after scoring the winning runs, SKY and Shivam Dube walked towards the pavilion without shaking any hands with the opponents.
Normally, in a cricket game, there is a post-match ritual, where the two teams shake-hands and complement each other. However, SKY chewed his gum and rushed to the pavilion ignoring Salman Agha and Pakistan, sending a strong diplomatic boycott message to the Men in Green. Watch the instance here.
Even, the rest of the India batters didn't enter the ground and just congratulated each other and returned to the dressing room and shut the door, completely closing any sort of post-match interaction with Pakistan counterparts.
SKY Also Ignores Agha During Toss
Notably, it was not the only instance in the match when SKY ignored Salman Ali Agha as he also refused to shake hands during the toss ceremony in Dubai. Further, it is also reported from times of India that Mike Hessen was annoyed by India players ignoring him as he approached to shake hands.
The report also added that the Pakistan team apparently waited outside India's dressing room, but the Men in Blue had shut the door Now, Pakistan face a daunting task to qualify for the super four stage.
