In the high-voltage Asia Cup 2025 clash between Pakistan and India, cricket wasn’t the only talking point. While India outclassed Pakistan with a 7-wicket victory at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the real breaking news came off the field – no post-match handshake between the arch-rivals.
Powered by Kuldeep Yadav’s magical 3/18, Suryakumar Yadav’s unbeaten 47 off 37 balls, and Abhishek Sharma’s fiery cameo of 31 off just 13 deliveries, India dominated from start to finish. Pakistan’s batting crumbled yet again, with only Sahibzada Farhan showing some fight and Shaheen Shah Afridi’s unbeaten 33 adding late resistance.
But despite the cricketing fireworks, social media erupted over what fans are calling the “No Handshake Snub” – a symbolic reminder of the heated rivalry.
For many, this gesture overshadowed India’s commanding performance, turning the game into a mix of sports and drama.
