Gill and Sharma thrashed, but Gautam Gambhir left no opportunity to insult and mock coward Pakistan

After the match, Indian players skipped shaking hands with Pakistan. Gambhir later brought them back, but only to greet the umpires, leaving Pakistani players surprised and social media buzzing.

New Delhi: The match between India and Pakistan has always been not just about cricket but also about emotions and prestige. But this time, the refusal to shake hands after the match has sparked a new debate. Gautam Gambhir is now at the center of this controversy.

India Defeats Pakistan Again

India defeated Pakistan by 6 wickets in the Super-4 match at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. The opening pair of Abhishek Sharma (74 runs) and Shubman Gill (47 runs) provided a brilliant start. The two shared a 105-run partnership in 59 balls, making the match almost one-sided.

Conflict Starts Right From the Toss

Something unusual happened during the toss at the very beginning of the match. India captain Suryakumar Yadav refused to shake hands with Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha. He went straight to talk to presenter Ravi Shastri and then shook hands with the match referee.

No handshakes even after the match

Usually, players from both teams shake hands after the match, but this time, that didn't happen: Tilak Verma and Hardik Pandya, who finished the match, headed straight to the dressing room.

Later, Gautam Gambhir brought the players back to the field, but he only asked them to shake hands with the umpires. The Pakistani players were surprised because the Indian team didn't greet them.

One word from Gambhir—"Fearless"

Gambhir shared a photo of Abhishek and Gill on Instagram after the match and wrote just one word— "Fearless." Fans considered this post a "direct message" to Pakistan.

Is Pakistan now India's rival?

After the match, questions arose on social media and in polls: "After their seventh consecutive defeat to Pakistan, are they still worthy of being called India's rivals?" This question is also being widely discussed among fans.

The Way Forward

India will now face Bangladesh on Wednesday, and if they win this match, their place in the final will be almost certain. Pakistan, meanwhile, will face Sri Lanka on Tuesday, a do-or-die match for them.
