Four Indian Players Honored with Awards Despite Trophy Refusal

While Mohsin Naqvi remained firm and insisted that he would present the trophy as the ACC chairman, the presentation ceremony was significantly delayed. It took place over an hour after the match ended. During this, Pakistani players received their medals, but Team India refused to accept their winners’ medals. They also refused to take the trophy. However, four players from Team India did receive their awards. Shivam Dube received the Game Changer award, while Kuldeep Yadav was awarded the Value Player award, along with $15,000. Tilak Varma was named Player of the Match, and Abhishek Sharma was the Player of the Tournament, receiving $15,000, a trophy, and a car. However, all these awards were given by officials other than Naqvi.
