India A vs Australia A, 1st unofficial Test live streaming: When and where to watch live in India

The India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 tie produced nothing out of ordinary on the cricket pitch and former India skipper Sourav Ganguly is not surprised at all. Pakistan looked like a pale shadow of their past when they used to have an upper hand on India but now they are below average. India not only restricted them to a sub-par total on 127 in 20 overs but won the match by seven wickets and more than four overs in hand. Ganguly says there's 'no competition anymore' between the two teams.<h2>Ganguly tears apart Pakistan</h2>It was T20 World Cup 2021 when when Pakistan beat India by 10 wickets and that remains to be the only match in the recent history when they had an upper hand. India have annihilated them before and after and Ganguly isn't surprised by it. He spoke about the Asia Cup 2025 match while talking at an event in Kolkata recently and said: "I’m actually not surprised by what I saw.

After India defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in their Asia Cup 2025 match in Dubai on Sunday (Sep 14), a major controversy and drama erupted.

After the win, the Indian team players refused to shake hands with the opponents.

Asia Cup: Who is Andy Pycroft, whom PCB wants to be removed? He has a special connection with India

India defeated arch-rivals Pakistan in their Asia Cup 2025 encounter on Sunday (Sep 14) as the Men in Blue continued their dominance in the fixture. Playing at the Dubai International Stadium, Suryakumar Yadav-led India registered a dominating seven-wicket victory. However, whenever these two teams meet, it’s more than just a game; it’s full of drama, emotions, and sometimes controversy. This time, the controversy wasn’t about the match itself. It was about what happened before and after it. At the toss, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav refused to shake hands with Pakistan skipper Agha Salman.&nbsp;<h2>Hand shake saga takes centre stage</h2>And later, after scoring the winning runs, both Suryakumar and Shivam Dube walked straight to the dressing room without greeting any of the Pakistani players. No Indian player came back out to shake hands with the opposition.

If so, the ICC could impose a fine on the captain, but such fines are usually not very large in cases like this.&nbsp;So it will be interesting to see what happens next in the handshake saga that has taken the centre stage.&nbsp;
