Gautam Gambhir’s Decision Leaves Pakistan Stunned After Handshake Row

The Indian Cricket Team once again proved its dominance by defeating Pakistan by 6 wickets in the Super 4 clash of the Asia Cup 2025. The Men In Blue defeated the Pakistani team in a one-sided manner in this match played in Dubai. But the real highlight of this match was the scene after the match, when Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir surprised everyone by giving a special order to the players. This high-voltage match started with controversy during the toss itself. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav, instead of shaking hands with Pakistani captain Salman Ali Agha, chose to shake hands directly with match referee Andy Pycroft and Ravi Shastri. This incident immediately became a topic of discussion on social media and once again highlighted the tense situation between India and Pakistan in cricket.

Pakistan, batting first, set a target of 172 runs for India. However, this target proved to be too small for the Indian batsmen. Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill made a stormy start. In the end, Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya finished the innings and secured the team's 6-wicket victory. This was the second consecutive time India defeated Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025. After the match, Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya returned directly to the dressing room, once again breaking the tradition of shaking hands.

A similar controversy had arisen after the group stage match. This time, head coach Gautam Gambhir intervened. He called the players back to the field and clearly told them to meet the umpire. Gambhir's action shocked everyone. The video quickly went viral on social media, and fans are attributing this behavior to the Indian team's "sportsmanship." Meanwhile, the Pakistani players were completely shocked by this incident.
