No handshake, no eye contact; Surya dedicates victory to Pahalgam victims

The Group A clash between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup ended on a frosty note as there were no handshakes or eye contact between the Indian and Pakistani players at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. The batters - India skipper Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube - simply walked off, while Pakistan’s players did not appear to expect any exchange either. Earlier, captains Suryakumar and Salman Agha skipped the customary handshake at the toss.

India secured a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Pakistan, strengthening their record to 15-3 in recent encounters. The contest tilted India’s way from the very first legal delivery, when Hardik Pandya dismissed Saim Ayub.

Suryakumar Yadav dedicated Sunday’s emphatic seven-wicket win over Pakistan to the armed forces, expressing solidarity with the families of the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack as India outclassed their neighbours in a completely one-sided contest to underline their dominance in the Asia Cup clash.
