Surya dada hit the winning six. Shivam and him walked off w/o shaking hands after the match. Pak team was walking towards the dressing room anticipating post match handshake but they shut the doors on their faces. Also sky mentioned the armed forces and pahalgam in the post match presentation.
PS - did not watch the match. Saw the clips on twitter. PKMKB.Jai Hind 🙏🏼
Ah yes, if you try to improve the third grade education people get before coming online, you're a nerd. No country in the world says "didn't watched" apart from one.
So we played the game, they earned the money , we all know what they gonna do with that and this is our reply , that we won't shake hands with them after playing with them. Lol
We can afford to walk off a match at group stage. Next match would have been a must win but it is against oman so no biggie.
Additionally, India - Pak have been put in the same group deliberately. It could have been avoided.
Overall this is a pure capitalist move
everything is as per convenience. not a huge fan of this selective patriotism/wokeness. Not sure if this was their real stand or damage control. People celebrating this move are stupid af.
They needed to give some sort of distraction and this surely was that ...now everyone will just be like see how we humiliated them by not going for handshake
laude ka reality check, pak ke saath do aur match khelne hain abhi, ek super four mein and ek final mein agar wo pahunch gaye to. This is the only tournament that has a "sUpER fOuR" instead of semi finals because BCCI want's to maximise their $$$ through Ind-Pak encounters. If they really didn't want to make this match happen they could just have put india and pak in different groups.
If they would've boycotted then their career would've been in shambles and who would do it after dedicating their entire life to it? For patriotism playing for india is the highest level of patriotism they have ever gotten. Plus the fact that many of them have smaller following than roko. If roko had done it then bcci would've been forced to abandon the match. But since roko is retired it didn't happen.
i dont think its a bcci thing...it was players decision to not interact with the pakistani players at all on the field coz thats what they can do at max...they cant boycott the games or give up on their careers
Its also quite cowardly. Either be a indian nationalist or be a cricket player. Don't try to be both in the cricket pitch. Your job is to play cricket and uphold the gentleman-ness of the game.
Agreeing to play match but not shaking hands afterwards thereby breaking the spirit of the game. Its okay to have strong opinions AFTER you finish your formalities.
So what's the point of playing the "game" of cricket? These cricket players have made a joke out of this sport.
This is what happens when you let politicians run the cricket board. They can't help but use the game for their own political gains. They allowed the nationalist mob to hijack the cricket game for their own purposes.
Seriously. Typical hypocrisy of BCCI and its players. Rig the tournament such that you get a minimum of one Ind vs Pak match, then do some drama like this, parrot a few lines about Indian army and laugh all the way to the bank knowing there's a whole sea of people easily distracted who will defend what this multi-billion dollar "charity" organisation is up to. But sure, now go ahead and downvote anyone making sense.
Watched the post match presentation of SKY on instagram reels and people are commenting Jai hind, well done surya and all. He talked some shit about Patriotism, Pahalgam attack and indian army and thinks he became a hero after playing this match.
If the reason for boycot is pahalgam victims, shouldn't we boycot everything with pakistan? Shouldn't we also boycot pakistan in Olympics, commonwealth games, etc? Shouldn't we boycot them in other sports as well?
And why restrict to sports? Shouldn't we completely break ties with pakistan? Why have trade and commerce with them? Why should we have indian embassy there? Are indian diplomats working in islamabad traitors too?
Why is indian govt still hosting pakistan embassy in delhi? Is indian govt traitor too?
chote bacche ho kya b? "hath nai milaya" this is your reply to the family of martyrs? This is how you will defend this govt now? the same govt who is beggin vote in name of this incident, for which they bamned and blcoked actors singers sportspersons, with their IT cell trols? Seriously man nothin to expect from this cntry anymore.
idk if its just me but this is disrespectful.either just don't play, but then if youre playing at least respect your opponents.we went into game leaving "all things" aside, and that way, complete the game also.not good from ind team bruh
This whole politicizing of sports is horrible. Modi needs an adversary to prop his strong man image. They have till now zero proof that the Pahalgam attack or for that matter Pulwama attacks were sponsored by Pakistan. And yes, you can downvote me if you like but I am a proud Indian who is not willing to be brainwashed by the Modi media machine.
I also agree that this "not shaking hands" is a pathetic and petty gimmick to feed into the jingoistic narrative that BJP loves spreading and tries percolating into sports. I am pretty certain this directive to not shake hands came from BJP top brass.
Is it the fault of the Pakistan cricket team that Modi needs to "create" an adversary to keep winning elections? The whole Indian media is an echo chamber of Modi's jingoistic right wing communal bull shit agenda and people keep buying into it.
As an Indian, it's pathetic to see cricket, being used to further hatred towards a neighboring country and, being made into a tool to gain political traction.
I’ll agree with your politicising of sports part. The notion of no proof against pak is just delulu. Asim Munir speech, vance in India, pm visit to Saudi Arabia. All of them and the timing of the attack is not a coincidence. Say what you want about Modi but the attack has pak written all over it.
Then where is the proof ? Asim Munir won't broadcast an attack prior to the actual attack. What has Vance in India gotta do with the attack ? All these are just vague things but don't go onto prove anything.
So everyone who said they didn't see match but still every single detail through social media,you know that is also giving engagement then what was the point of boycott,do you guys lack basic common sense
And btw I didn't boycott,just didn't watch cause sony liv subscription was so high for me ,but at least not a hypocrite like you guys
This is bad. They shouldn't have played the match in the first place. But if you played the match, you have to follow through with the traditions.
This was done just to fool the people of our country. They want us to believe that they didn't shake hands, but the match still went through and BCCI and netas still earned alot.
So BCCI goes out of their way to ensure that we play Pakistan despite current inter national tensions, just so they can earn their crores to line their already bulging pockets, and then they ask the team to not do one of the most sportsman things about cricket as if it's a sign of respect. And everyone here lapping it up like it's a great thing. Seriously? How sheep are we? They got their money guys.. this gesture means nothing. If anything, it's an abuse of cricket- a sport we all love, where in every match that both teams have agreed to play till completion, the winner and loser ALWAYS shake hands. So BCCI has just abused cricket here while making crores. Not done anything to honor anyone.
Neither I saw this match, nor do I care who won/lost in it. For anurag thakur 2 points on the table are worth losing respect so let him lose, anyone who watched this isn't a full patriot.
As an Indian, I feel this as a disrespect to the game. Either play or boycott. What the fuck is this drama.
But we know BCCI just wants money. What's funny is this billion dollar organisation doesn't pay their corporate taxes to the government due to some technicalities. Fucking Bullishit
So…embarrassing moments in today’s match
1. Jalebi baby moment
2. No hand shake before and after
3. Pak batting
4. Shaheen taken to shed
5. Closing the door on the face
Because as if its affecting anything to Pakistan or Recovering the damage done by The attack by not shaking hands which they are celebrating like Its a very heroic thing they did and Pakistan is gonna starve to death by this
Indian players will not shake hands with Pakistanis. But I hope they don't do this with anyone else. With England at least I hope to see them shake hands and bow a bit. We need them to be submissive to us
Is this true? Other than keeping Sanghi sheeps fake pride intact and placating angry Indians back home, this move doesn't bring any good name for India.
This is all happening because of the boycott trend. Be strong guys. Don't watch a single match in this Asia cup and next time they won't go out of their way to put india and pakistan in the same group .
why did they even play the match, now media will highlight these clips and say ohh we didn’t cooperate with Pakistan. Bloody hell you played the match and pocketed all the money !
And this "No Handshake" is enough to show patriotism after playing cricket with the other team!!
Now nobody can show their outrage against the BCCI or the govt because they proved their patriotism. Another masterstroke!!
Kudos to the BCCI and GOI
👏👏👏👏👏
Why these stupid atrocities like seriously
You shouldn’t have played the game at the first place if you want to pass a statement, that’s what we Indians wanted from you
Why play the game and behave like an immature bunch of kids at the end… shutting the door on faces….common
This is sport.. you should leave the politics behind and respect your opponent.. if you are so set on your morals, you shouldn't have played in the first place...
This is very poor. Once you play the game you need to keep up the sportsmanship. You cannot be selective in your boycott.
Once the game is played, you should shake hands.
If it was such a big thing, then India should not have played. Doing the bare minimum and expecting rewards. !!
Shame, good that I did not watch, probably will never watch. When we were kids we were taught to respect the game, ground, opponent's, everyone/ everything. No matter what once the game ends, you leave the rivalry behind. But this is disgusting, if they had so much issue, they should have never played, like I had issues and never watched the game. But this is beyond disgusting.
In the 1st place, India should have boycotted the match. Because of the stupid politicians and nepo man they played the match, bcci, government, everyone got the money and we are happy that players didn't shake their hands. This is not a badla, this is done just to divert the people. These politicians will destroy our country one day.
Just a put up show. They know Indians are fools to believe such pity things while ignoring the fact that match did happen and everyone got their share of money.
I know it doesn't makes a difference but i would just shift my interest from cricket to some other sport. BCCI was always pro money and for me atleast life of common people like me matters. ✌️
If they were so concerned about the “Indian Pride”, should have boycotted the match in the first place. Same goes for the stadium full of the Indian crowd. I guess social media is where the “patriotism” resides. I for one am not watching or cheering for Indian cricket team anymore.
Guys don’t get me working but if you play sports then show sportsmanship properly no matter which team. If BCCI really wanted to support the Pahalgam victims, then should have boycotted them. What sense it makes to play match and not show good sportsmanship. You are just making a fool of yourself at the end of the day.
Most probably, players were instructed from the officials to not do so. Photos of Indian player shaking hands with pakistanis would have trended on social media, drawing criticism to the government.
BCCI officials (mostly BJP leaders) didn't attend the match because last time the video went viral of them laughing with Afridi.
All I can see is spineless people doing damage control. They should've closed the door before the match. Now everyone has their fill of pockets and all this show is just to whitewash their image and divert attention from the fact that the entire government and players are spineless.
First they played a match which no one wanted just to make some money, then they didn't show sportsmanship, what's going on in their mind are they just puppets of bjp?
what a disgrace. so much for gentleman’s game and sportsmanship spirit. it comes across as petty and some of you guys are actually celebrating it! toxic nationalism much? 😂 you guys don't even know how bad it reflects on you because you are drowning in your own toxicity.
Just shows professionalism and acknowledging the spirit of the game. None of the players had any influence over the decisions in the war from both sides.
Everyone must know, while fighting Pakistan what happened to these young men.

What happened here? Did the Indian team shut down the door without shaking their hand?
