Mohsin Naqvi, along with several Pakistan cricketers, attended the walima ceremony of Abrar Ahmed on Monday. Abrar’s Mehendi took place on October 4. Star players like Shaheen Shah Afridi and Faheem Ashraf were also present, while Abrar shared glimpses of the event on his official Instagram account.

Naqvi reportedly walked away with the trophy and medals from the stadium, which led to criticism. However, later reports suggested the trophy was handed to the UAE Cricket Board, though details remain unclear.

In a viral video from Abrar Ahmed’s wedding reception, Naqvi was seen entering the venue while reporters asked him about the trophy situation. He avoided answering questions and greeted Abrar and former Pakistan captain Shaheen Afridi before leaving in his car.

He was bombarded by questions such as 'Where is the Asia Cup Trophy?' and 'What do you have to say to Suryakumar Yadav's statements?'

Mohsin Naqvi Sparked Controversy by Sharing Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘Fighter Jet’ Gesture

Mohsin Naqvi also posted a video of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo performing a “fighter jet” gesture. He shared the post just before the final. The gesture was seen as an indirect reference to the Pakistan Army’s unverified claims of downing six Indian jets during a recent military standoff.

Naqvi’s post was politically charged and provocative, adding further fuel to the already tense atmosphere surrounding the India-Pakistan encounters in the tournament.

Earlier, Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf had made the same gesture during the Super 4 clash against India. Opener Sahibzada Farhan celebrated his half-century in the same match with a gunshot celebration. While the ICC warned Farhan, Rauf was penalized 30% of his match fee for his actions.

Pakistan Defeated by Team India in All Three Matches in the Asia Cup 2025

Suryakumar Yadav’s India showed complete dominance over Pakistan in the Asia Cup. They defeated the Men in Green in the group stage and the Super 4 before sealing the title with a five-wicket victory in the final.

Tilak Varma anchored India’s chase with a 69-run innings, helping the team secure its record ninth Asia Cup crown. However, the triumph was overshadowed by controversy.

Indian players refused to shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts throughout the tournament. Suryakumar also dedicated the team’s victory to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian armed forces.

Pakistan lodged a formal complaint with the ICC over the gesture, and Suryakumar was fined for making political remarks. The Indian captain donated his entire Asia Cup tournament fee to the victims’ families and also refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy from Mohsin Naqvi.
