After Asia Cup Tensions, India And Pakistan Hockey Players Exchange High-fives
After Asia Cup: The India vs Pakistan junior hockey match at the Sultan of Johor Cup in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, began with players from both sides exchanging high-fives after the national anthems and ended with handshakes following a closely contested 3-3 draw on Tuesday.
This development comes in contrast to the Asia Cup cricket tournament last month, where Indian and Pakistani players refrained from any on-field interaction.
At the Asia Cup, the Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian cricket team did not engage in the customary handshake with their Pakistani counterparts, in the wake of Operation Sindoor, and dedicated their victory to the families affected by the Pahalgam terror attack. India later declined to receive the trophy from PCB and ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi, who also serves as Pakistan's interior minister.
