Following their victory in the Asia Cup 2025, the Indian cricket team declined to receive the trophy from Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman Mohsin Naqvi. This decision resulted in Naqvi being left on the stage as no Indian team member approached to collect the trophy. After the match concluded, a formal handshake between the teams was also avoided. Indian supporters present at the stadium voiced their sentiments through chants of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’. The trophy was eventually taken to the Indian dressing room by an event organizer instead of being presented by Naqvi. This incident has intensified the post-match atmosphere. India won the Asia Cup 2025 by defeating Pakistan by 5 wickets, after restricting Pakistan to 146 runs. Kuldeep Yadav was the top bowler picking 4 wickets.
