The five-wicket victory of India over Pakistan at the Asia Cup 2025 final got out of control following the refusal of the team to accept its medals and trophy.
The conflict came about when the players refused to take the silverware in the hands of the ACC President and PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.
The closing ceremony was inaugurated on a one hour delay, and cut short when presenter, Simon Doull, announced the refusal of the Indian team. Nonetheless, the tension did not stop Abhishek Sharma as Player of the Tournament with 314 runs, as well as Kuldeep Yadav who took the highest wicket taker.
The pursuit of 146 by India with Tilak Varma leading with an unbroken 69 took the trophy, yet the after match trophy drama was in the news.
