In a fiery Asia Cup clash at Dubai, India defeated Pakistan by 7 wickets in just 15.5 overs. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav and all-rounder Axar Patel dismantled Pakistan’s batting order, restricting them to a modest total. Young opener Abhishek Sharma led the chase with explosive hitting, ensuring India’s emphatic win.
However, the post-match moment raised eyebrows as players from both teams refrained from shaking hands—a tradition usually seen at the toss and after the game. After hitting the winning six, Indian players walked straight back to the dugout, skipping handshakes with the Pakistani side.
The incident has sparked debate on sportsmanship and the growing intensity of India-Pakistan cricketing rivalry.
