In the 2025 Asia Cup final between India and Pakistan in Dubai, the Indian players once again chose not to shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts, marking it the third such instance in this tournament. As soon as the winning runs were scored, Tilak Varma and Rinku Singh headed straight to the dugout to join the celebrations. Meanwhile, it was India’s third consecutive victory over Pakistan in the 2025 Asia Cup, and similar post-match scenes were seen during the group stage and Super Four matches.

India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2025 Final
India claimed their ninth Asia Cup crown with a nail-biting five-wicket win over Pakistan. The game went down to the last over, where Tilak Varma stood with an unbeaten 69 off 53 balls, while Rinku Singh struck the winning boundary off the only ball he faced in the tournament. An important stand between Varma and Shivam Dube helped India to recover after early wickets, while Varma also had a small partnership with Sanju Samson.
Earlier, Pakistan had reduced India to 20 for three early on, with Faheem Ashraf and Shaheen Afridi dismissing Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shubman Gill inside the powerplay; the Indian middle order then rebuilt the innings and sealed the victory for the team on Sunday.
