India vs Pak: Suryakumar Yadav continues to ignore Salman, refuses handshake for the second time

Dubai (The Uttam Hindu) : The Asia Cup Super Four match between India and Pakistan is being played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. This is the first Super Four match between the two teams. However, the match also featured a similar scenario to the league stage match between the two teams on September 14th.

During the toss of the match between India and Pakistan played in Dubai on September 14, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav did not shake hands with Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha. Suryakumar Yadav did not shake hands with Salman Ali Agha in this match either. After winning the match on September 14, no player from the Indian cricket team shook hands with any player from the Pakistani team. This also caused controversy. Former Pakistani cricketers called it an insult to the spirit of the game.

It remains to be seen whether the players shake hands after the end of this match, or whether the practice started in the last match continues in this match as well. Talking about the match, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has won the toss and decided to bowl first. Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakraborty have returned to the Indian team. Spinners have dominated this Dubai pitch in the Asia Cup. Although scoring runs here is easy initially, but as the ball gets older, spinners seem to dominate. The maximum temperature in Dubai on Sunday was 40 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature is expected to be 31 degrees Celsius. There is no possibility of rain during the match.

Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Tilak Varma, Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy.
