Embarrassment for Pakistan: Agha Absent, Coach Speaks on Team’s Behalf

Asia Cup 2025: When the Asia Cup 2025 match ended on Sunday night at the Dubai International Stadium, Team India not only won but also gave a clear message to Pakistan. Team India won this match by 7 wickets.

Case of not shaking hands

After the match ended, Captain Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dubey went straight to the dressing room. The rest of the team players also returned to the pavilion without shaking hands. This scene was shocking for the spectators and media present in the stadium.

Pakistan captain refused to come

Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha came neither to the post-match interview nor to the press conference. Because of this, head coach Mike Hesson had to come forward and clarify the situation.

Statement of head coach Hesson

Mike Hesson said in the press conference, "We were ready to shake hands at the end of the game. We were saddened that the Indian team could not do so. We went to shake hands, but they had already gone to the dressing room. It was disappointing." Hasan also said that his team was already a little disappointed with the performance, but they were still ready to show sportsmanship.

Game of the match

After winning the toss, the Pakistani team decided to bat first, but the Indian bowlers dominated them. The Pakistani team could only make a score of 127 runs in 20 overs. India reached the target in 15.5 overs. Suryakumar Yadav returned unbeaten and played an important role in the victory.

Message even outside the field

This move of the Indian team was not just the result of the game. Keeping in mind the recent Pahalgam attack and the sentiments of the country, the team gave a clear message on and off the field. This victory was not just about the scoreboard but also became a strong message given to Pakistan.
