Ind vs pak: Before the start of the Asia Cup 2025, the fans were criticizing the Indian team that despite the Pahalgam terror attack, it agreed to play against Pakistan. There was also a demand to buy the match on social media and many viewers did not even see the group stage match.
However, in that match, Team India did something like this, after which Indian fans were happy but the Pakistan team as well as its boards and fans got chilly. In fact, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav did not join hands with Pakistani captain Salman Ali Aga during the toss in the group match.
However, till then no one paid any special attention to this, but when no player of Team India was seen joining hands with Pakistani players after the match, then there was a lot of talk on social media. The Indian players shook hands and then closed the door of the dressing room.
India also continued in the Super 4 match of not joining hands with Pakistani players. Here too, Team India won and after that, the players at the crease shook hands and then went towards the dressing room. The players of the Indian team who were sitting in the dugout also shook hands among themselves but no one joined hands with Pakistan players.
Mohammad Azharuddin reprimanded the Indian team
While in the Asia Cup, India’s Pakistani players are being praised all around for not joining hands, former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin is not happy with this attitude. Azharuddin believes that if India had an objection to Pakistan, then they should not have played the match and if you are playing then it should also be shared.
Talking to a TV channel, Mohammad Azharuddin gave his opinion on the Handshek Controversy, saying,
“I think there was no harm in shaking hands. When you are playing the match, you are completely involved in it, like shaking hands or anything else. I don’t know what was the problem. I really couldn’t understand. But I don’t think there was no harm in joining hands.
When you are playing in protest, it is better that you don’t play. There is no point in playing in protest. Once you have agreed to play and have said that you will not play bilateral matches with Pakistan, whether it is an ICC tournament or Asia Cup, you will have to play with full vigor. Otherwise, there is no need to play. “
“If you are playing the match, then shake hands or else don’t play”
