Birmingham: Sunday is Super Sunday of Cricket. India and Pakistan face each other in Women’s T20 World Cup. Will Harmanpreet Kaur, Jemima Rodriguez shake hands with Pak cricketers in this match?
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s reaction on whether the Indian cricket team will join hands with Pakistani players has gone viral. India and Pakistan (IND W vs PAK W) match will be played today in Women’s T20 World Cup. Before this great war, when Harmanpreet was asked whether Team India would join hands with the Pakistani players, the skipper clearly replied that they are here to play cricket.
Indian players have adopted a no-handshake policy with the Pakistan team since the men’s Asia Cup last year. Then the Indian women’s cricket team also maintained this trend in the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup.
Will there be a handshake in the India-Pak match?
Asked about shaking hands with Pakistani players, captain Harmanpreet Kaur said, “I think we are here only to play cricket and we will only talk about cricket. We will not talk about anything other than cricket. I am also not thinking about anything other than cricket.”
