The India vs Pakistan encounters in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 has been full of controversies so far. India have managed to win both games in the Asia Cup 2025 and Pakistan struggled to match their intensity. Despite that, controverses prevailed and they are not looking like slowing down anytime soon. After winning the first match in the group stages, Indian team under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav avoided the compulsory handshake between the two sides as part of their ‘no handshake’ policy with Pakistan due to the recent relations between India and Pakistan. This led to Pakistan team protesting and they threatened to boycott the Asia Cup 2025.
