This moment followed earlier games in the tournament where Indian players chose not to shake hands with the Pakistan team during both the group stage and Super 4 matches. In contrast, the fist bump with Jaker Ali showed a more relaxed and respectful attitude, highlighting that fair play and respect still matter, even in high-pressure matches.
After the toss, both sides quickly shifted their focus to the match, ready to perform in this important Super 4 clash of the Asia Cup 2025. That small friendly gesture at the toss was a quiet reminder that cricket can carry both fierce competition and mutual respect.
Why is Litton Das not playing?
In an unexpected turn of events before the important Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 match between India and Bangladesh in Dubai, Bangladesh skipper Litton Das was ruled out due to an injury. With Litton unavailable, wicketkeeper-batter Jaker Ali took charge as captain.
During the toss, Jaker Ali explained that Litton got injured during a practice session before the match. Although the exact details of the injury weren’t shared, Jaker sounded hopeful and said they expect Litton to return later in the tournament. His absence is a big setback for Bangladesh, as his experience and leadership are valuable in key games.
