On Sunday, the Indian team did not join hands with Pakistani players after winning the Asia Cup 2025, while Salman Ali was waiting at the Pakistani Players Ground, including Aga. Pahalgam was the first time after the terrorist attack, when the two teams were playing among themselves. Earlier, at the time of the toss, Suryakumar Yadav did not join hands with Salman Ali. After the end of the match, Salman did not come in the presentation, coach Mike Hessen gave a big statement about it and explained the reason for this.

There is anger against Pakistan in the whole country since the Pahalgam attack, due to which the match was also being opposed. But due to being a multitim tournament, India had to play with Pakistan. Indian players also thought that the sportsmanship with that country does not show a spirit, which spreads terrorism in India. For this reason, Indian players did not join hands with Pakistani players after the match was over. After this, Salman Ali did not attend the Aga presentation.

We wanted to join hands- Mike Hessen

Pakistan’s head coach Mike Hessen described the non -joining hands by the Indian players and said that we wanted to join hands with them. Hessen said, “We wanted to meet the Indian team after the game was over, we were disappointed that our opposing team (Indian team) did not do so, we had gone there to join hands but they had already gone to the dressing room. This was a disappointing way of ending the match, we were willing to join hands”

No Handshake by Indian Team.

Pakistan Waited for Handshake But India Went to the Dressing Room and Closed the doors.

The reason for Salman Ali Aga not attending the presentation

After the end of the match, Pakistan captain Salman Ali did not attend the Aga presentation. The coach told that this was for this reason because Indian players did not join hands with Pakistani players. Hasan said, “I think it is just the effect of the same incident that you know, we wanted to join hands with the players after the match was over, but it could not happen and, you know, the matter is over there.”

In the Asia Cup, India registered a unilateral win over Pakistan by seven wickets. Team India achieved the target of 128 runs given by Pakistan in only 16 overs. In this victory, Abhishek Sharma’s fast innings and Tilak Varma contributed significantly in this victory with the winning shot of captain Suryakumar Yadav. In an important development after the match, the Indian team did not join hands with the players of Pakistan, giving a strong message against terrorism. Captain Suryakumar Yadav dedicated this victory to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian Army. He said, ‘We are standing with the victims of Pahalgam and dedicate this victory to those families.’ With this step, the Indian team gave a clear message on the playground and also outside the field.

Asia cup 2025 ind vs pak: In the Asia Cup 2025, Pakistan is going to start its campaign against Oman today, but the real thrill of the Asia Cup will be seen in the India-Pakistan match in Dubai on Sunday. This clash between the two countries is not just a cricket match, but a big for fans. Prior to this high-voltage match, Pakistan’s head coach Mike Hessen has made a big disclosure on the team’s strategy.

Spin made the biggest weapon

Hessen made it clear that Pakistan’s biggest bet on UAE’s slow and turn -taking pitches is going to be spin bowling. Describing Mohammad Nawaz as the best spinner in the world, he said, “Nawaz has been in great form for the last six months. He remains the number in ICC ranking.

Pakistan also has spin options like Salman Ali Aga besides Nawaz. Although Ali Aga did not get much opportunities for bowling, but in Test cricket, he has got his spin iron. Hessen believes that his spin army can show a big impact in front of strong batsmen like India.

Preparations to intimidate five pacer

If the pitch is not favorable for spinners, Pakistan has backup of five fast bowlers. The coach said that his team has the power to bother Indian batsmen with speed, reverse swing and variation. He said that in modern cricket, strike rates and early overs have become very important, so his team will field with the same mentality.

Answer to questions raised on Babur and Rizwan

In recent times, questions have been raised on the batting of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, especially for playing slow in the powerplay. On this, Hessen indirectly replied that the team is working on maintaining a fast strike rate in the powerplay. That is, Pakistan’s opening pair in front of Indian bowlers can land with aggressive strategy.

Adventure on super Sunday

In the India-Pakistan match to be held on 14 September, both teams will take the field with the intention of winning and this strategy of coach Hessen has made the match even more interesting. Now it has to be seen whether spin’s magic works or Indian batsmen are overshadowed by Pakistan’s preparation.

Pakistan will play its first match in the Asia Cup with Oman on 12 September. After 2 days, the Pak team has to face Team India. Before this high-voltage match, the stir in the Pakistan team has intensified. The first captain Salman has challenged Team India in Agha talks, on the other hand coach Mike Hessen has told about the aspect that can win the Pak team over India.

At a press conference before the match against Oman, Mike Hessen praised Pakistan’s bowling attack. He is especially expecting a lot from Mohammad Nawaz.

Mike Hessen said in the press conference, “When you have this status wrist spinner, the importance of the pitch does not matter much. Our team’s specialty is that there are 5 spin bowlers in the team. We have Mohammad Nawaz, who is currently the best spin bowler in the world. He has been ranked in the same context in the last 6 months.”

The coach also told that captain Salman Aga can also bowl. The Pak team has many spin bowling options and Mike Hessen is hoping that UAE’s pitch will be helpful for them. He also showed confidence in the fast bowlers and said that there are 5 talented fast bowlers in the team.

The Pak team should not take these over confidence somewhere, because in the match against the UAE, Kuldeep Yadav has shown 4 wickets that he too has not come here to play Gilli-Danda. Apart from Kuldeep, India also stars Akshar Patel and Varun Chakraborty.

Why so much trust in Mohammad Nawaz?

Coach Mike is showing so much confidence in Hessen because this year he has taken 20 wickets in 11 matches and his economy rate has also been below 7. Nawaz has just taken 10 wickets in the Tri -series against UAE and Afghanistan. He also remains the highest T20 wicket bowler for Pakistan this year.
