On Sunday, September 28, the Indian cricket team once again rose to fame as they lifted their record ninth Asia Cup title, beating Pakistan by five wickets in the summit clash in Dubai. Coming into the tournament
as the defending champions, India remained unbeaten and went on to lift the title in a thrilling contest.
With the victory, they not only etched history, but also reigned supreme over the arch-rivals, extending their winning streak. However, the team had to vary of the trophy after they refused to collect it from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who also holds the Chair of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and is the Interior Minister of Pakistan.

As a result, the ACC Chairman reportedly took the trophy and the winners’ medals to his hotel room, denying the Indian team of the same. However, this did not make much of an impact as the players of the winning side, took to social media to share photoshopped pictures with the trophy, making mockery of the ACC President’s antics.
Sealing the victory moment, the members of the Indian team, including Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, among others were seen posing in images that had a trophy emoticon. Since they have gone, they are doing rounds on social media.
While the antics of Mohsin Naqvi did not hamper India’s winning moment, Suryakumar Yadav at the post-match presser also shared a strong message where he emphasised that the champions would be remembered and not the picture of the trophy.
