Colombo: Amidst the excitement surrounding the India-Pakistan match, new speculations have arisen about the exchange of courtesy. According to a report, the players of the two teams may not shake hands during the match in Colombo on Sunday. Especially during the toss, there is talk that Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav and Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha may not shake hands with each other.
According to a report in The Indian Express, the decision is influenced by previous events. The two teams last met in the Asia Cup 2025, where the Indian side avoided the exchange of courtesy. At that time, the political tension over Operation Sindoor in Pakistan and PoK had an impact on cricket as well.
Not only this, the Indian team did not even collect the Asia Cup trophy from the hands of Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the head of the Asian Cricket Council. These incidents made the strained cricketing relationship between the two countries even more evident. As a result, many people believe that a similar situation can be created in the current match. Which is surrounded by mercury.
However, before the match, Suryakumar Yadav did not directly say anything about the issue. He said that if we wait, everything will be clear and the main goal of the team is to play cricket only. On the other hand, Salman Ali Agha said that cricket should always be with the right mentality of sports. So what happens in the end at the ground in Colombo is now a matter to be seen.
