In the ACC Men’s Asia Cup Rising Stars match played on Sunday, Pakistan A team defeated Indian A team by 8 wickets. After this, a shocking claim was made on social media that after the match was over, the Indian players had gone to shake hands with the Pakistani players, but the players of the Pakistan team left from there. Know the truth of this viral claim, a video of it is also going viral on social media.
The ‘No Handshake’ controversy was first seen in the Asia Cup, when Suryakumar Yadav did not shake hands with Salman Ali Aga at the toss and refused to shake hands with Pakistan players even after winning the match. It was already anticipated that no handshake would continue in the Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament on Sunday. However, the opposite was claimed.
NO WAY Indian players came to shake hands but Pakistani players just walked away 😭 India is getting a taste of its own medicine😭😭😭

Posting on social media, a user wrote, “This cannot happen, Indian players came to shake hands with Pakistani players but the Pakistan team left from there. India got to taste its own bitter medicine.”
What is the truth of the viral claim?
However, the viral claim and the truth are completely different. A video also surfaced on social media, in which Pakistani players are shaking hands with each other without any haste. Their support staff are also shaking hands, this clearly shows that no player or staff member from India went to shake hands with Pakistan, nor tried to. So this claim is completely wrong.

Won the match by 8 wickets
Talking about the match, batting first, the entire India A team was all out for 136 runs in 19 overs. Vaibhav Suryavanshi played a good inning of 45 runs in 28 balls, but the other opener Priyansh Arya was out after scoring only 10 runs. After this Naman Dheer scored 35 runs in 20 balls. However, the middle order was a complete flop, captain Jitesh Sharma could score only 5 runs. Nehal Vadhera could not even open 8 accounts and Ashutosh Sharma could not open the account.
Chasing the target, Pakistan won in 13.2 overs. Pakistan’s opener Maaz Sadaqat scored unbeaten 79 runs in 47 balls, in this innings he hit 4 sixes and 7 fours.
