The Asia Cup 2025 has been marked by a major controversy surrounding the Indian cricket team’s decision not to shake hands with the Pakistani players. This has led to various opinions. Among the critics is Manoj Tiwary, a former cricketer. He expressed his disagreement with the team’s conduct.
Tiwary’s criticism of the team’s behavior and also made a false claim. He argued that it was a mistake for the team not to shake hands after the match. He singled out Gautam Gambhir, accusing him of using the situation to hide his hypocrisy. Tiwary further alleged that Suryakumar Yadav shook hands with the Pakistani captain at the trophy unveiling, a claim that proved to be false upon investigation. The decision to play matches between India and Pakistan is made by the Indian government, and the Indian team is only following this decision.
