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.”

Rishabh Pant’s legs fractured the fourth Test against England in the thumb. Despite this, he came to bat, Pant had to run to take the run himself with a broken thumb. But if this was the time before 2011, Pant would have got a ‘runner’. After which he would have to bat only while standing and the other player would run for him. But since 2011, the ICC has banned this rule. Let’s know why the ICC did this.

Why not get the runner now? Rules changed since 2011

In earlier times, when a batsman was injured, he was allowed to seek the help of a ‘runner’ to take runs. This rule was very beneficial for such batsmen, who had difficulty in muscle stretch, injury or running. Many times, this is why the teams used to avoid losing the match and the batsmen were able to contribute. But now this does not happen.

In 2011, there was a long discussion about this rule in the ICC’s annual meeting, after which it was decided that the runner would not be allowed from now. The ICC said that this rule was taken wrongly many times. It was difficult for the umpires on the field to decide whether the player is really injured or cunning.

The ICC’s then head Aaron Logart had told ESPN, “The Cricket Committee discussed the issue and realized that many times the runner was not used in the right spirit. It was difficult for the umpires to decide whether the batsman was really hurt or not. If a ball was injured, if a ball was injured, he could not bowl throughout the day, so it was not allowed that the runner was not allowed to be done, because the rule was not allowed to be done. Is.”
