On Sunday, the Indian team did not join hands with Pakistani players after winning the Asia Cup 2025, while Salman Ali was waiting at the Pakistani Players Ground, including Aga. Pahalgam was the first time after the terrorist attack, when the two teams were playing among themselves. Earlier, at the time of the toss, Suryakumar Yadav did not join hands with Salman Ali. After the end of the match, Salman did not come in the presentation, coach Mike Hessen gave a big statement about it and explained the reason for this.
There is anger against Pakistan in the whole country since the Pahalgam attack, due to which the match was also being opposed. But due to being a multitim tournament, India had to play with Pakistan. Indian players also thought that the sportsmanship with that country does not show a spirit, which spreads terrorism in India. For this reason, Indian players did not join hands with Pakistani players after the match was over. After this, Salman Ali did not attend the Aga presentation.
We wanted to join hands- Mike Hessen
Pakistan’s head coach Mike Hessen described the non -joining hands by the Indian players and said that we wanted to join hands with them. Hessen said, “We wanted to meet the Indian team after the game was over, we were disappointed that our opposing team (Indian team) did not do so, we had gone there to join hands but they had already gone to the dressing room. This was a disappointing way of ending the match, we were willing to join hands”
No Handshake by Indian Team.
Pakistan Waited for Handshake But India Went to the Dressing Room and Closed the doors.
What a Humiliation by Indian Team 🤣

The reason for Salman Ali Aga not attending the presentation
After the end of the match, Pakistan captain Salman Ali did not attend the Aga presentation. The coach told that this was for this reason because Indian players did not join hands with Pakistani players. Hasan said, “I think it is just the effect of the same incident that you know, we wanted to join hands with the players after the match was over, but it could not happen and, you know, the matter is over there.”
