Indian cricket captain Suryakumar Yadav has sparked controversy after shaking hands with Pakistan’s Interior Minister and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President, Mohsin Naqvi, during the Asia Cup trophy unveiling. The handshake, captured at the event, quickly spread across Indian media platforms and social networks. Many users expressed anger, calling the gesture inappropriate given Mohsin Naqvi’s political position and past remarks against India. One social media user wrote that shaking hands with Pakistan’s Interior Minister was “the height of shamelessness.” Another added, “Suryakumar Yadav is shaking hands with the very man who threatened India after Operation Sindoor.” Indian outlets also highlighted the handshake, questioning the captain’s decision in light of tense bilateral relations. Mohsin Naqvi, who also serves as Pakistan’s Interior Minister, assumed charge as ACC President earlier this year.
