IND vs PAK Final Asia Cup 2025 : India and Pakistan are facing off for the first time in history in the final of the Asia Cup 2025. As both teams entered the final, two final traditions were broken. For the first time in history, two unusual scenes were witnessed in the final. India won the toss and elected to bowl first. Suryakumar Yadav remained firm on his handshake boycott.

This drama happened for the first time

Cricket finals aren't typically marked by controversy. However, the ongoing tensions between the Indian and Pakistani teams, and the two countries, have led to new controversies every now and then. This was evident in the final. India maintained its handshake boycott, but two broadcasters were present. Ravi Shastri represented India, while Waqar Younis entered the field to speak with Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha.

Photoshoot cancelled

Before any final, there's a trophy photoshoot between the captains of the two teams. However, that was also canceled before this final. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav withdrew from the photoshoot. Following this, a single photo of Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha holding the trophy went viral. Furthermore, another feat was witnessed for the first time in the final.

Two broadcasters at the toss

During the toss of the India-Pakistan match, two Pakistani broadcasters were seen. Usually, only one broadcaster speaks to both captains during the toss. But in this final, Ravi Shastri spoke to Suryakumar Yadav, while Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha spoke to Waqar Younis. This issue also seems to be gaining momentum. Salman Ali Agha also broke his silence on the photoshoot. He said, "We don't focus on what we can't control. Media talk, external noise; we ignore that. Our goal is the Asia Cup. We have come here to play good cricket, and tomorrow our goal will be to win the final."
