Asia Cup Super Four: India and Pakistan are gearing up for their second clash in the Asia Cup Super Four on September 21, and the excitement comes with a mix of high tension, history, and a subplot that has fans buzzing—the handshake.
Their first encounter was far from the usual spectacle. An unusually sparse stadium reflected public unease after the tragic Pahalgam terror attack, with many questioning whether the match should have taken place at all.
Despite the backdrop, the game went ahead. India’s captain, Suryakumar Yadav, led his side to a comfortable win but notably skipped the customary handshake with Pakistan players afterward—a silent yet powerful statement amid heightened national sentiment. On the field, India dominated completely, while Pakistan struggled to mount any meaningful resistance.
