India’s dominant performance in the 2025 Asia Cup continues, with the team securing a spot in the final by defeating Bangladesh in the Super-4 stage. The match concluded with India winning by 41 runs, leading to Sri Lanka’s elimination. Pakistan and Bangladesh are set to compete in a critical match on September 25, with the winner advancing to the final. Meanwhile, ACC President Mohsin Naqvi has found himself in the spotlight after posting an image on social media that has been widely criticized for being anti-India.
Naqvi, who also serves as the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), shared an image of Cristiano Ronaldo making a gesture suggesting he was flying an airplane. This post has been interpreted as a provocative act against India.
The post sparked significant backlash on social media. One user commented, “If ICC has any shame left, they should ban Pakistan cricket for 2 years. ACC Chairman Mohsin Naqvi openly mocked India by putting this pic intentionally, this is unacceptable.”
Earlier incidents involving Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf and a response from Arshdeep Singh further fueled the tension. India’s win against Bangladesh ensures their place in the Asia Cup final, scheduled for September 28. The final could potentially be against either Bangladesh or Pakistan. The outcome of the Pakistan-Bangladesh match on September 25 will determine which team faces India in the final, with the possibility of a third India-Pakistan match in the tournament.
