The two players did not engage in the customary handshake after the toss for their Group A Asia Cup 2025 match and walked towards their dugouts.

As the match started, India showed Pakistan their place in world cricket and absolutely demolished them both with the bat and the ball.

India displayed a dominant show with the ball and restricted the Men In Green to 127/9. Kuldeep Yadav bagged three wickets, Axar Patel got two wickets, Jasprit Bumrah picked two wickets, while Hardik Pandya and Varun Chakravarthy bagged one wicket each.

While chasing a target, Abhishek Sharma provided India with a flying start, and he launched the attack on the Shaheen Afridi-led bowling attack.

After that, India lost a few wickets, but were still in total control, and on the fifth ball of the 16th over, Suryakumar Yadav slammed a six off Sufiyan Muqeem to register a dominant 7-wicket win.

Suryakumar Yadav instantly walked off the field alongside Shivam Dube following the end of the game, and there were no post-match handshakes between the two teams.

Notably, Salman Agha-led Pakistan went outside the Indian dressing room for customary post-match handshakes, but no one came out, and the Men In Green faced humiliation.

Pakistan National Cricket Team head coach Mike Hesson was left frustrated looking at this, and he was seen having a chat with the match referee.

Pakistan elected to bat first in the match after winning the toss, but they were unable to make the most of the decision. Saud Shakeel led the way with 62 runs, while Mohammad Rizwan added 46.

At one stage, they were 151/2 and looked set for a strong finish. However, India’s bowlers fought back brilliantly and bundled out the Men In Green for 241 in 49.4 overs.

Chasing 242, India started steadily with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill adding quick runs. After the openers fell, Virat Kohli showcased a batting masterclass as he scored 100* off 111 balls, supported well by Shreyas Iyer, who struck 56.
