The controversy began with the India-Pakistan match in the Asia Cup 2025. The issue stemmed from the handshake protocol. When the toss occurred, Suryakumar Yadav did not shake hands with Pakistan captain Salman Agha. Subsequently, after India won the match, they did not shake hands with the Pakistani players. This was followed by the absence of Pakistan’s captain, Salman Agha, during the post-match presentation, escalating the situation.
