Amid ‘handshake row’ with Pakistan, Suryakumar Yadav’s act towards Karachi-born player raises eyebrows

Suryakumar Yadav and the Indian team has been in the spotlight ever since they locked horns with Pakistan last Sunday in Dubai. The Men in Blue avoided handshakes with the Pakistani side, not only during the Toss time but also after the match concluded and went straight to the dressing room.

Even during the post-match presentation ceremony, Suryakumar dedicated the win to the victims of the Pahalgam Terror attack and to the Indian Armed Forces. Nearly a week after the IND vs PAK match, Suryakumar Yadav is in the news for hugging a Karachi-born player named Aamir Kaleem after the game against Oman on Friday.
