Sunday\u2019s India-Pakistan match in the Asia Cup is still the talk of the town because of the drama that unfolded after the game\u2019s conclusion. Suryakumar Yadav and his men avoided shaking hands with Pakistani players after their victory, a gesture that did not sit right with PCB and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chair Mohsin Naqvi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking on the matter, Saikia said that one must focus on celebrating India\u2019s \u2018thumping\u2019 win rather than focusing on what \u2018third parties\u2019 or \u2018hostile countries\u2019 say.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I can only say that India won handsomely. It was a thumping victory for the Indian team. Nothing more. Nothing less. That's all. India won the match so comfortably. We should be enjoying that rather than focusing on all that noise created by some third party or hostile countries. We should not be bothered by it. Instead, we should appreciate and feel proud of our boys for doing so well. We hope the winning momentum will continue till the last match of this tournament,\" Saikia told IANS on the controversy after the India-Pakistan Asia Cup game in Dubai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
