India secured victory in the Asia Cup 2025, however, the post-match ceremony was overshadowed by controversy. The Indian team chose not to accept the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, the PCB chief and ACC chairman. This decision left Naqvi waiting on stage, while a member of the organizing committee took the trophy to the Indian dressing room. The incident followed India’s convincing win over Pakistan by 5 wickets. The Indian team’s bowlers, led by Kuldeep Yadav’s impressive performance, restricted Pakistan to a score of 146 runs. Prior to the final, Naqvi’s social media post, interpreted as a reference to Pakistan’s claims of downing Indian jets, had caused significant controversy. The defeat marked Pakistan’s third loss against India in the tournament.
