The much awaited clash of Asia Cup 2025 is about to begin as India and Pakistan are taking on each other at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. There have been lots of debate among the fans ahead of the match
and many fans are boycotting this game due to the tensions between both the countries.
Ahead of the start of the match, there was also cold behaviour from the captains of both India and Pakistan at the toss. During the toss, after Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav flipped the coin, Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha won the toss and opted to bat first. However, there was no handshake between both the captains after the toss result came. Generally it can be seen that the captain shake hands and greet each other after the toss but there wasn’t such formality between Suryakumar Yadav and Salman ahead of match number eight of Asia Cup 2025.
