Asia Cup 2025 After a seven -wicket defeat to India in a group match, a funny but disappointed appeal of a Pakistani cricket fan went viral on social media. The fan appealed not to play the next match against Team India, which caught everyone’s attention and also showed a big difference in the game of both teams.
After losing by seven wickets on 14 September, a Pakistani fan asked India in a funny way to leave the next match, so that Pakistan can easily score two points and make it to Super 4. They said, “Our team cannot even beat Afghanistan. Please boycott the next match so that we can qualify for the final.”
In this match, India stopped Pakistan at 127/9 in 20 overs and then achieved the target in 15.5 overs. Kuldeep Yadav won the player of the match title with a brilliant 3/18 figure, while captain Suryakumar Yadav won the team by scoring an unbeaten 47. This fan appeal became viral on social media by becoming a funny response to Pakistan’s weak batting and bowling.
After the match, when the Indian players refused to join the traditional hand, the tension increased. Pakistan coach Mike Hessen said, “We were ready to join hands, but they had already returned to their dressing room.” Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga also tried to join hands, but no response was received.
Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav dedicated the victory to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian armed forces and it was right to ignore the etiquette after the match due to emotional reasons. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Cricket Board demanded the removal of the match referee Andy Pycroft, accusing them not to join hands with the captains at the time of the toss. The ICC rejected it and said that Picroft was following the instructions of the Asian Cricket Council.
This mixture of India’s dominance and tension outside the field on the field made the most politically sensitive cricket match of recent times. Meanwhile, the Pakistani fan’s mild request to leave the next match from India also became entertaining and poignant on social media.
