In Brief
The India vs Pakistan match took place in Dubai yesterday.
India performed strongly in this match.
After the match, the Indian team went straight to the dressing room without the traditional handshake.
In the India-Pakistan match played in Dubai during the Asia Cup 2025, Team India performed brilliantly and won by seven wickets. India chased the simple target of 128 runs given by Pakistan in just the 16th over. Under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian team played aggressively and did not give Pakistan any chance.
Amidst the increased tension between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam attack, this match had gained special significance. Many citizens in the country had demanded that India should not play against Pakistan. However, the BCCI received permission from the government to play in the multinational tournament, and the Indian team took to the field. Nevertheless, the players respected the sentiments of the fans.
After the match ended, the Indian team went straight to the dressing room without the traditional handshake. After hitting the winning six, Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube congratulated each other, but did not make any contact with the Pakistani players. Not only that, but the Indian players also closed the dressing room door.
Although the Pakistani players were momentarily confused by this behavior, they eventually turned towards their own dressing room. The special feature of this match was that the Indian team, while winning through play, respected the emotions of the fans by avoiding formalities with Pakistan.
