Asia Cup Victory Turns Controversial as India Denied Trophy

India’s victory in the Asia Cup, their ninth title, was followed by an unusual turn of events, casting a shadow over the celebrations. The post-match ceremony was delayed, causing confusion and speculation. Indian players, including Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill, and Kuldeep Yadav, and bowling coach Morne Morkel were all keen to celebrate their victory. After the post-match show, with analysts Sanjana Ganesan, Wasim Akram, and Ravi Shastri, the presentation was expected. However, India’s team remained on the podium while the ceremony was delayed. Eventually, presenter Simon Doull announced that India would not be receiving the trophy. Mohsin Naqvi, the head of ACC and PCB, left with the trophy, leaving the Indian team without the trophy, a significant disappointment after their hard-earned win.
