Akshay Thakur - Monday, Sep 15, 2025The Indian team defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in the Asia Cup-2025 on Sunday. This match was being strongly opposed in India and the reason for this was the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in April. Although India did give some relief to the countrymen by defeating Pakistan, but Pakistan was ridiculed all over the world due to the defeat and humiliation suffered by Pakistan.
In this match played at Dubai International Stadium, neither Pakistan's batting nor bowling worked. Team India defeated Pakistan on every front. Even after the match, Pakistan could not save itself and was embarrassed. So embarrassed that it was in a mood to complain.
Losing the match: The biggest embarrassment was Pakistan losing the match. In the entire match, Pakistan never looked in the race to compete with India. Batting first, Pakistan scored only 127 runs. It was good that Shaheen Shah Afridi played an unbeaten innings of 33 runs in 16 balls in the last overs, which helped the team cross 100. Otherwise, this score was also difficult. India achieved this easy target in just 15.5 overs by losing three wickets and won by seven wickets.
Not shaking hands: India decided not to shake hands with Pakistani players in this match. When captain Suryakumar Yadav came to toss, he did not shake hands with Pakistani captain Salman Ali. After every match is over, both the teams shake hands, but in this match India did not do so. Suryakumar hit a six to give the team victory and then turned his face away and returned to the pavilion with Shivam Dubey. The rest of the players and support staff of Team India did not come to the field to shake hands with the Pakistani team.
Missing from post-match presentation: After the defeat, the Pakistani team got further infuriated by the Indian players not shaking hands. After this, they did something that further insulted them. The team refused to attend the post-match presentation ceremony. Pakistan could have easily saved its honour by attending it. However, it boycotted it in anger and then became a laughing stock.
Pakistan did not stop here. It also complained to the ICC about India not shaking hands. It also took the match referee to task. It has also complained against match referee Andy Prycroft.
After all this, how could Pakistan remain safe on social media. It is being trolled fiercely on social media. A lot of memes are being made on the statements given by the team players, former players and celebrities.
