In a thrilling encounter at Dubai, India defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in the Asia Cup 2025, but the post-match events stole just as many headlines as the result itself.
Chasing the target, Suryakumar Yadav smashed a six to seal the victory for India. Instead of celebrating on the field or exchanging handshakes with the opposition, Surya immediately called teammate Shivam Dube, and the duo walked straight into the Indian dressing room. The rest of the Indian team followed suit, skipping the traditional post-match handshake with the Pakistani players.
Despite the off-field drama, India’s performance was clinical. Suryakumar Yadav led the chase with calm aggression, supported by Shivam Dube’s steady batting. Earlier, India’s bowlers had restricted Pakistan effectively, ensuring the target was within reach.
This match added yet another fiery chapter to the India vs Pakistan cricket rivalry, one that continues to transcend sport and stir emotions on both sides of the border.
As India marches forward in the Asia Cup, fans are left with both jubilation over the win and curiosity about the dramatic walk-off that overshadowed the handshake tradition.
