Know what Salman Ali Aga said?
On the question regarding the tradition of shaking hands, Salman Aga said, “We will see about this tomorrow.” Amid the sensitive situation surrounding the match after Pakistan’s initial boycott, Salman tried to stay away from any controversy and said that he wanted the match to be played in the spirit of cricket. Salman Aga further said, “I hope that this game is played in the same spirit with which it has been played from the beginning.”
Indian players did not shake hands with Pakistani players in Asia Cup
Let us tell you that Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav had announced during the Asia Cup in Dubai in September last year that his team would not join hands with Pakistan out of respect for the Indian citizens who lost their lives in the Pahalgam terrorist attack in April. This decision was also seen as a symbol of solidarity towards the Indian Army during ‘Operation Sindoor’. According to sources, the same protocol is likely to be adopted on Sunday and the two captains are not expected to shake hands at the time of the toss or at the end of the match.
