The India vs. Pakistan match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium saw India emerge victorious with a 7-wicket win. However, the game was marked by a significant controversy: the refusal of the Indian team to shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts. This incident began before the match even started when captains Suryakumar Yadav and Salman Ali Agha did not exchange handshakes during the toss.
Pakistan’s batting struggled, resulting in Kuldeep Yadav taking three crucial wickets. India’s batting performance included notable contributions from Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma.
Post-match, Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube walked off without shaking hands with the Pakistani team. This led to frustration within the Pakistani camp, and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has formally protested the Indian team’s actions. The match referee had reportedly instructed the Pakistan captain not to shake hands with his Indian counterpart.
