India defeated Pakistan by 7 wickets in the match played on Sunday in the Asia Cup 2025. India dominated the entire match, Pakistan failed in every region. However, the most discussed is about ‘No Handshike’. Actually Suryakumar Yadav did not join hands with Salman Ali Aga at the time of the toss. After the match was over, the Pakistani players kept waiting at the ground, while neither the batsmen went to join hands with them nor any Indian player or staff member later came to the ground.
Suryakumar Yadav confirmed that the decision of the BCCI was supported by the decision not to join hands with Pakistani players. The sheet did not change even after the toss, this was also the decision of a member of the team. Now the big question is whether there is any rule on this, due to which the Indian team can be fined.
Pakistan filed protest
Pakistan team coach Mike Hessen, who came to the press conference, said, “The team was waiting to join hands but did not come to the Indian players. This is why Salman Ali did not attend the agar presentation.” Let us know that after this, Pakistan team’s displeasure reached the match (Andy Pikeroft). The Pakistan Cricket Board said that the manager of the team has lodged a formal protest against India, as they had requested the captains not to join hands during the toss.
What is the rule of ICC or ACC?
No one was written in the rules of cricket that it is necessary to join hands. At the time of the toss or after the match, shaking hands is part of the game spirit. Players meet each other after every match due to Spirit of Cricket. “
Will the team be fined?
No, when there is no rule to join hands, there is no question of penalty on the team or any player. Although someone should be misbehaved during this time or if you say something abusive, then it may be fined, but nothing like this happened in the match yesterday. But if no one intentionally joins the protest team or the player, then it can be considered contrary to the sportsmanship.
After the match, Suryakumar Yadav said that, some things are above the spirit of the game. “He wrote in a post,” This victory is dedicated to the armed forces of India and the victims of the Pahalgam attack. Jai Hind.”
