Pakistan Player disrespect national anhem: The process of controversy between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup did not stop in the final. Especially some Pakistani players did not desist from their antics and they continued their bad behavior in the final as well. In the Super-4 match, Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi, who debated Indian players and making lewd gestures about India, created a new controversy by insulting the Indian national anthem in the final.
All the players from India and Pakistan landed on the field just before the action of the Asia Cup final started in Dubai. As usual, before the match, the nation of the two countries was run in the loud speaker of the Gan Stadium. Now everyone knows that during the national anthem, all the players silently stand in their place and demonstrate respect, no matter what the nation of any country is playing.
Keep talking during the national anthem
But showing their hatred against India in front of everyone, Shaheen and Haris insulted the national anthem. At the time when the lyrics and tunes of ‘Jan Gana Mana…’ were echoing at Dubai International Stadium, both these Pakistani bowlers were constantly talking among themselves. In this way, both of them openly insulted the Indian National Anthem and gave rise to a new controversy. On social media too, both these players were reprimanded for this.
Salman Aga also caused a ruckus
There was continuous controversy between the two countries in this entire tournament. In the very first match, where Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav and the entire team refused to join hands with Pakistani players. At the same time, Pakistani captain Salman Aga refused to talk during the match presentation with Indian commentator Sanjay Manjrekar. He also did the same act in the final, due to which there were not one but two commentators during the toss and while Suryakumar Yadav spoke to Ravi Shastri, Salman spoke to Pakistani commentator Waqar Yunus.
