The Asia Cup 2025 final between India and Pakistan is turning into more theatre than cricket, with yet another twist — two toss presenters for the first time ever. Waqar Younis will handle the toss chat with Pakistan skipper Salman Agha, while Ravi Shastri will speak only to India captain Suryakumar Yadav.
The move comes on the back of escalating off-field drama — from India refusing a traditional handshake with Pakistan to Suryakumar Yadav skipping the trophy photo alongside Salman Agha. Organisers clearly don’t want another flare-up, and the “split toss” is being seen as a sign of just how tense things have become between the two camps.
Never before in international cricket has a toss been divided between two presenters, and fans are already mocking the decision as proof that the rivalry has spilled far beyond the boundary ropes. For many, it sets the tone for what could be the most politically charged India-Pakistan final in years.
