The Asia Cup 2025 will be remembered for disputes between India and Pakistan. In this tournament played amidst the ongoing tension between the two countries, there was some ruckus during every match of India and Pakistan. There was a ruckus in the final of the Asia Cup after the players conflict during the group stage and super-4 matches. The reason for this is the Pakistani captain Salman Ali Aga, who refused to talk with Indian commentator Ravi Shastri during the toss.
There was a ruckus even before the start of this tournament between India and Pakistan and the situation did not change even when both the teams face to face on the field. In such a situation, there was an eye on whether the situation in the finals will improve or will deteriorate. But before the action of the ball and bat started, there was a view that surprised everyone.
In this entire tournament, Ravi Shastri was handling the responsibility of the toss in every match in India, including the last 2 matches of India-Pakistan. But when the turn of the final came, Shastri was also present with Shastri, former Pakistan captain and fast bowler Waqar Yunus, who was commenting in this tournament. The reason for this is Salman Aga, who refused to talk to Shastri. Due to this, during the toss, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav spoke to Indian commentator Shastri, while the Pakistani captain spoke to Waqar Younis.
There is rarely seen in cricket history when the commentator of their country was present to talk to the captains of both countries during the toss.
