Dubai — The high-voltage India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 clash ended with India’s thumping 7-wicket win, but the post-match scenes have sparked new speculation. While Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav addressed the crowd and the press, dedicating the win to victims of the Pahalgam terror attack, there was a glaring absence — Pakistan captain Salman Agha did not appear for the customary presentation interview.
Normally, both captains share their thoughts after a marquee fixture, but this time, only India’s leader took the stage. With no words from Salman Agha, questions are being raised about whether the Pakistani camp was left upset — both by India’s on-field dominance and by the no-handshake gesture that followed the win.
The presentation, therefore, was one-sided, focusing entirely on India’s performance and Suryakumar’s remarks. Fans on social media were quick to notice the missing voice, with many debating whether Pakistan deliberately avoided the spotlight after a disappointing outing.
This silence has only added another layer to an already politically and emotionally charged fixture. Whether it was a conscious call by the Pakistan team management or just a procedural miss remains unclear — but the optics of their captain skipping the post-match address have left plenty of room for speculation.
