Before that, at the time of the toss, Suryakumar Yadav did not join hands with Pak captain Salman Aga. He said that it was the decision of the team. Now Sunil Gavaskar has put his response on this entire controversy.
Pakistan team targeted
After the Indian team did not join hands, Pak captain Salman Aga boycotted the post-match presentation. When Salman did not come in the presentation, Sunil Gavaskar tightened up and said, “I don’t think it would have made much difference on anyone. People will be willing to listen to the captain who won more than the excuses on the Pakistani captain’s defeat.
Said on not joining hands
Sunil Gavaskar said on the controversy that does not join hands, “It is a personal decision of a player what he has to do and what not. Many times people abuse you or behave indecently in the field, which is not acceptable at all. If someone takes your name to join hands with other players, it is not right to expect.”
He further said, “I do not know what actually happened on the field, whether words were exchanged between them or not. But no player wants him to join hands, it comes under his rights.”
Explain that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has complained to the ICC in this case, in which accused of violating laws related to sportsmanship. PCB has even demanded the removal of Andy Picroft, who was a match referee in an Indo-Pak match, with immediate effect.
