‘No handshake’ in India vs Bangladesh match

Why is there dispute between India and Bangladesh
Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav did not shake hands with the Pakistan captain during the Asia Cup, it was a way of protesting against the Pahalgam terrorist attack. There were reports of atrocities on minorities in Bangladesh for some days. After the murder of 2 Hindu youths, protests started in India, due to which KKR also came under target. Actually, for IPL 2026, Bangladeshi bowler Mustafizur Rahman was bought by KKR for a huge amount of Rs 9.20 crore.
When there was protest, BCCI directed KKR to release Mustafizur. When the franchise did this, Bangladesh banned IPL telecast in its country. Bangladesh told ICC that it will not go to India for the T20 World Cup. They expressed their desire to play their matches in Sri Lanka, which is co-hosting the tournament with India.
