The long -awaited clash of the 2025 Cup between India and Pakistan ended in a tense note when the players on both sides left the field without participating in the usual handshake after the game, once again.
India successfully pursued a target of 172 races to defeat Pakistan for six WICKETS at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Sanju Samson and Hardik Pandya scored the winning races in the penultimate. However, neither the Indian or Pakistani players took a step forward to shake hands.
The absence of the traditional handshake at the end of the game has caught the attention, with observers who point to the lack of sportsmanship and spirit spirit between the two archirrival.
None of the teams offered clarifications, but the incident stressed the persistent tension surrounding one of the most fierce rivalries of Cricket.
Previously, the Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav omitted a habitual handshake with Pakistan’s captain Salman Ali Agha during the launch.
After winning the raffle, suryakumar chose to play first and walked directly beyond the patron of Pakistan to Ravi Shastri for the previous discussion to the game, while Salman Ali Agha reflected the gesture.
The trigger of the handshake comes in the backdrop of a continuous row between the archir -livels, derived from the clash of the group stage, which attracted considerable attention both inside and outside the field.
