India’s Refusal to Shake Hands with Pakistan Ignites Anger

As India’s victory was confirmed, captain Suryakumar and his teammate Shivam Dube immediately returned to the dressing room without shaking hands with the Pakistani team. Moreover, the other players and coaching staff in the Indian dugout also did not offer handshakes. Reports indicate that when captain Salman and head coach Mike Hesson attempted to shake hands with the Indian dressing room, the gesture was declined. This left the Pakistani coach and captain visibly upset.
