The Indian cricket team has reached Australia for the ODI series, the first match will be played in Perth on 19 October. Earlier, a video of Australian players is going viral on social media, in which they are making fun of the decision of Indian players not to shake hands with Pakistani players. During Asia Cup 2025, Suryakumar Yadav and team had decided that they will play the match against Pakistan but will not shake hands with them, although this was only for Pakistan and Indian players also shook hands with the players of other teams and also met them.
This decision of Team India was related to the sentiments of the players, because they did not want to join hands with the players of the country whose players are spreading terrorism in India. This was also against the Pahalgam attack. But Australian players made fun of it and also shared its video. Let us tell you that India will play a total of 8 matches on the Australia tour. After 3 ODIs, a 5-match T20 series will be played.
Australian players made fun!
This video was shared from the social media page of Kayo Sports. In this, the anchor says, “We all know that India is heading towards victory, but we identified a big weakness. We know that they are not fans of the traditional meeting (gesturing to shake hands), so we can stop them like this in advance.” Australian players reacted to this and made a video.
