India head coach Gautam Gambhir orchestrated the handshake snub of Pakistani players by members of the Indian team before, during, and after their clash in the Men's T20 Asia Cup 2025, which India won comprehensively by seven wickets at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai on Sunday.

The handshake snub was the brainchild of head coach Gambhir, who had advised the Indian players against engaging in a handshake with the Pakistani players and also asked them not to have any verbal exchanges with the archrivals, according to a report in Telecom Asia Sport.
